**__The Straight A's: Listening, Writing, and Speaking Spanish. __** [|Chase's Blog] - Writer. [|Diana's Blog] - Leader. [|Trey's Blog] - Cinematographer/ Worker. [|Cody's Blog] - Web Editor.

__**Processes and References**__  We decided to use a pre-written paragraph with 19 verbs/ words in parentheses for verb conjugation, so that the students can use their own knowledge of conjugation rules and vocabulary to complete the assignment.  We decided to let the students create a voki describing what they did at the mall last weekend, so that the students can have fun while creating an avatar that speaks what they have said.  We decided to create a video via iMovie and upload it to youtube, so that the students can enjoy watching a video in Spanish, while having to answer 5 questions in Spanish.
