Incoming Spanish Pre-IB II Review log
This assignment was designed to keep all of your tenses fresh in your memory so that the transition to
next year’s Spanish class goes smoothly. Use the tenses suggested for each assignment.
**B log: you must write an entry for each of the topics given. Each topic should be at least 5 sentences
in length to be considered an acceptable entry. It is always better to provide more than less as an IB
student. Make sure your writing provides details not just generic statements like voy al cine. (Think:
who, what, when, where, why) Change the structure of your sentences so not all of them begin with a
pronoun like Yo. Lastly, make sure your sentences flow with transitions like también. Be prepared to
submit your document to your Spanish Pre-IB II teacher on the first day of class.
Begin this assignment 2 weeks prior to the start of school as this is due on the first day of class!
