Proyecto: Español II
“Cuando era niño(a)”
Rough Draft Due (minor grade): __________________________
PowerPoint Project & Oral Presentation Date (major grade): ______________
As we now know, the imperfect tense can be used to describe what you and others “used to do”
in the past. In this project, you will write a rough draft in which you describe your childhood and
what you “used to do” back then---you will USE THE IMPERFECT TENSE in the creation of this
description. Then, you will create a PowerPoint presentation of this description to share with the
class. Save your project often.
IF YOU USE ANY SORT OF ON-LINE TRANSLATOR I CAN EASILY DETECT IT. YOU WILL RECEIVE A
ZERO AND I WILL CALL HOME FOR CHEATING.
YOU MAY USE A DICTIONARY TO TRANSLATE INDIVIDUAL WORDS. DO NOT USE A HISPANIC
FRIEND TO TRANSLATE FOR YOU
