Assignment Choice Sheet
Spanish 2
Sra. Laura Lee Moore
Please follow all directions carefully. No credit will be given for any assignment that does not follow all
specifications.
Choose ______________ of the following assignments.. When turning in more than one at a time, all
assignments should be stapled together. At the top of each assignment you should label which assignment
number it is. Also, you will need to complete a cover sheet and staple it to the top of your packet. You
may not do an assignment more than once per nine weeks unless specified. Any writing assignments should
demonstrate your knowledge of vocabulary learned in this class and should not involve the use of a
dictionary or translator or any unknown vocabulary.
It is expected that you will use correct spelling of all vocabulary words. You have access to your
vocabulary lists while completing these assignments and I expect you to work carefully and use the
resources available to you. No credit will be given to any assignment with more than 5 misspelled
vocabulary words. Please double-check all work!
