ABC Countdown

May 5-June 10The last 26 days of school!

What is it?

• A countdown for the last 26 days of school • Starts with letter A and ends with Z• Each day will have a different word beginning

with that particular letter. It may be a place, food, person, etc. from the Spanish-speaking world.

• A fun way to learn about Spanish culture!• The last extra credit opportunity for 3rd

trimester!

How it works

• Each student will receive his/her own pad of ABC Countdown forms

• I will announce the word a day in advance during class so you can research it that night for the following day. It will also be posted on my webpage.

• We will discuss each word, look at pictures, and watch video clips as it relates to the Spanish culture.

How to receive credit

• Go home and research that particular word. • Fill out the ABC Countdown form • Each letter that you complete is worth ½ point

of extra credit. You may receive a maximum of 5 points of extra credit for this assignment (10 letters).

• Any student that completes all 26 letters will receive a prize at the end!

Rules for receiving credit

• The ABC Countdown form must be entirely filled out and in complete sentences!

• Only the ABC Countdown forms that I give you are accepted. You may not submit post-it notes, notebook paper, etc.

• You MUST turn in the ABC Countdown form before 9:00 a.m. to receive credit. I will have an envelope on my door and will also be outside in the 4th floor C-wing hallway from 8:45-9:00 with a large container. Any forms turned in after 9:00 a.m. WILL NOT be counted.

This is a fun way to end the school year! Take advantage of this cultural

extra credit opportunity!
