Spring semester 2013 Assignments:

 

January 22 HOMEWORK (Deberes):

a.  Choose 2 places within the City of Valencia (not outside of Valencia) you want to visit, from among the sites listed in our itinerary, on our website, or others, and explain why they attract you, what is there about these sites that you want to learn more about or see and why, and give us some info you have found about them.  How might these sites have significance for the Spanish, English or History class?  En español.  Una página.  A máquina (typed). 

 

Follow these tips for how to do a good job:  Even though you might now be in a Span 101, 102 or 105 class, use your BEST español, and proof-read it several times for accuracy.  Try not to look up more than about 8 words to write this, and use the grammar and vocab. that you already know.  So keep it simple, and do NOT write it in English first and then translate.  That’s very important; translating only adds to the tediousness of the task, and will lead you to use very poor Spanish, and you will not gain in writing facility by doing it that way.  Do not write in English and then put into an electronic translator!  This not only is plagiarism, but doesn't help you develop your abilities to actually write in Spanish, which is one of the objectives of this assignment.  (Besides, really garbled version can result from electronic translators!)  Start out completely in Spanish, simple Spanish, brainstorm words you will want to use, make lists of ideas in Spanish, then write.  Do not skimp.  These assignments COUNT in your grade.  You will receive a rubric for how this assignment will be graded. Completing an assignment by doing the minimum required will earn a grade of C; going beyond the minimum requirement and doing a high-quality job will earn higher grades.

 

We will use these in class to discuss where you want to go, and maybe even change our itinerary to be able to visit places we may not have put on the itinerary.  So there is a point behind all of this.  Don’t come without this homework for 3 reasons:  it counts in your class grade, and you won’t be able to participate in the group discussions we are going to have using the homework, and you won’t have any input into what we do in Spain.

 

b.  Think about and plan strategies for the following scenarios that could happen to you in Valencia; the purpose is to prepare you for all possibilities so that you have a plan and can get the most out of all of your experiences.  Write a paragraph in English explaining what you will do in these situations, and include several possible ideas for each one:

            1.  What if I get lost in Valencia while going home from the Institute?  What if I get lost in the Valencia metro?

            2.  What if I can’t say what I want to say, because I don’t know a lot of vocabulary?

 

c.  Research and find a name in Spanish that you would like to be called during the program.  We will not be speaking English for the most part while we are in Spain, so we want to be able to use Spanish when we talk to each other.  Bring your name to class and be ready to introduce yourself.  (“Me llamo Lily; encantada de conocerte.”)

 

d.  If you have not applied for your passport, do so now.  This is very important. If you have your passport, bring 3 copies of the info page to the meeting (if you have not already turned yours in).   Really, really, if you have not yet applied for your passport you MUST do so immediately.

 

e.  Contribute some fun facts to our Facebook page!  http://www.facebook.com/GenEdSummerAbroadInSpainGreece

 

f.  At our meeting, sign up to watch the movie El Cid before the March 12 meeting.     Sign up to watch Cities of Light before the April 4 meeting.  We'll bring sign-up sheets to the meeting.

 

 

 

February 12 HOMEWORK (Deberes): 

a.  Think about and plan strategies for the following scenarios that could happen to you in Valencia; the purpose is to prepare you for all possibilities so that you have a plan and can get the most out of all of your experiences.  Write a paragraph in English explaining what you will do in these situations, proposing several possibilities for each one:

            3.  What if I can’t understand what someone is telling me, like my host-mom or the bus driver on the way to the Institute?

            4.  What if I get sick?

b. For Spanish or History classes:  Write a one-page "Diario" essay, following the instructions you will receive.  Your task will be to report, react, and analyze.  To complete this assignment, attend a campus event or special activity.  Examples:  Basketball game, guest lecture, a play, Spanish Club meeting, fund-raiser, etc.  Choose an event that you would normally attend anyway.  Follow the instructions you received during our January meeting carefully and use the grading rubric you received.  This is a practice for your "Diario" assignments that you will have while in Spain, to prepare you for how to do a great job and how to get the highest grades.  This assignment will COUNT in your grade.

c.   Start a notebook;  make sections with dividers:

             1. A section for each class: 

                       i.  Class info, handouts, notes, syllabus

                           Print the syllabi for each of your classes:  SPAN 201    SPAN 202    SPAN 302 

                                                                                         HIST 100      HIST 484      ENGL 400 (all of these will be on Blackboard soon)

                       ii.  Homework, etc.

                      iii.  Quizzes, etc.

                      iv.  Diario y preguntas del día

                       v.  Actividades Culturales

              2.  Cultural info and handouts

              3. Travel info and handouts

 

d.   If you have not applied for your passport, do so immediately, or you run the risk of not being able to get on the plane.  This is not a joking matter.  If you have not yet done so, bring 3 copies of the info page to the meeting.  Gracias.

 

e.  Sign up to watch the movie El Cid before the March 12 meeting.  Sign up to watch Cities of Light before the April 4 meeting.

March 12 HOMEWORK (Deberes): 

 

a.  Pregunta del Día:  ¿Cuáles son las características más importantes/interesantes de Longwood?  Follow the instructions you received for researching the "Question of the Day" and for writing up the information you find out.  You will have a "Pregunta del Día" most days in Spain and the objective is to speak to native Spanish speakers to find out their opinions or their slant on issues, customs, characteristics of their city or current events.  You will take notes as you interview people and then write up the information they gave you.  For this question, you must try to find Spanish speakers to talk to (you can even use your Spanish professors if they are available) and you will find that everyone you talk to has different views or their own particular slant on the questions.  Do not try to write what they say word for word.  The idea is to have a conversation, take a few notes and add to your notes as soon as you finish talking to them.  Then write up IN YOUR OWN WORDS the information you found, and include a brief description of the people with whom you spoke.  Use the detailed instructions and rubric that you received in our Feb. meeting.

        6.  What if my roommate gets drunk and wants to leave the bar with the cute guy?

        7.  What if I get really drunk (or if my friend gets really drunk)?

 

c.  See the movie El Cid (starring Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren) before this meeting; it's in English, so at least activate the Spanish subtitles so that you can start getting familiar with some of the vocabulary we might use during the course.  4 copies of the DVD are on reserve in the Library; you can check it out for 1 day--so don't wait till the last minute because they might all be checked out.  Write up a list (en español) of the main events that take place.  Your list should have about 8 events.  Write another list of the main characters.  Be ready to tell us what you think of the movie and the events.

 

d.  Watch the documentary Cities of Light:  Moslem Spain before March 21--segments 3 ("Unity"), 4 ("Division"), and 5 ("Purification").  Print the question sheet and read over it before watching; then answer the questions and be ready to discuss them.   Don't wait till the last minute because it might be checked out.  

e.  Juego de Amigos Compatibles:  finish the back of the sheet, identifying people with whom you get along, based upon your interests, habits and preferences.   At this meeting, plan to sit with the people you identified.  Prepare how you will ask them the following questions in Spanish:

              1.  What classes they will be taking in Spain

              2.  If they have travelled abroad before

              3.  Where they live at Longwood, and where their home is

              4.  What their major is

              5.  Their phone number and/or email

d.  Plan to watch the documentary Cities of Light:  Moslem Spain before this meeting--segments 3 ("Unity"), 4 ("Division"), and 5 ("Purification").  Print the question sheet and read over it before watching; then answer the questions and be ready to discuss them.   Don't wait till the last minute because it might be checked out.  

e.  Talk at least 4 times to the people people you identified as roommates during the last meeting, so that you can be beginning to get to know each other now, before you go.

          Friday, April 26 at 2:00 or 3:00  place TBA;               Monday, April 29 at 3:00 place TBA                  Tuesday, April 30 at 3:30 in Grainger 324

 

 

 

May 15 Deberes:

(We will have a class meeting in the gate area as we wait for our flight at the Richmond Airport.  We will go over this homework in small groups and each group will report back to one of the professors.  Bring your homework in your carry-on.)

 

a.  Find your homestay on a map of Valencia.  Try to see how you would get to the Institute from your homestay. 

 

b.  Find the Plaza del Ayuntamiento on a map of Valencia and plan how to get from there to your homestay.  That is where our Friday walking tour will end and you will need to go home from there.   Plan the phrases you will need to ask your host mom/dad for the "Pregunta del Día" on Friday afternoon:  "¿Cómo llego a casa desde la Plaza del Ayuntamiento?” 

 

c.  Find the Plaza de la Virgen (behind the Cathedral) on a map of Valencia and plan how to get there to meet the group on Monday for our Tapas dinner.  Be ready to tell us how you plan to get there.

f.  Become familiar with the Requirements for Diarios and Pregunta del Día, and with the rubrics for scoring your work:  Pregunta del Día rubric      Diario rubric.       Practice your writing skills in Spanish so that you are prepared to write about your activities, reactions, and interpretations.

 

g.  Plan how to get along really well with your host mom/dad/family.  They like to hear about what you're doing each day, or about your family and activities or interests at home.  So plan some discussion topics you can use at dinner time, and practice talking about "what we did today" or "what we plan to do tonight or tomorrow".  Write a sample monologue in which you tell them about your fictional day, and practice SAYING it (1/2 page, en español).  Bring your written version to the airport, and be ready to role play.  Then it will be easier to put it into practice in Valencia.

 

h.  Explore these Spanish newspaper websites and choose at least THREE articles that you find interesting.  You may not expect to understand everything you read, but skim it, look for cognates, get a general idea of what it is about.  Do this during the last week before we go, so that you have fairly up-to-date news.  Then write summaries in your own words, in English if you prefer (but in Spanish if you feel capable--those who will be in Spanish 202 and 302 should feel capable!), about a 1/2 page for each article.  You will turn these in at the airport and will share your news items with the group, so that we all know something about what is going on in Spain.  Here are the newspapers:  

 

          Periódicos nacionales:   El País        El Mundo        ABC                    Periódicos de Valencia:    Las Provincias      Levante    

 

i.   State Dept. Registration:  You should register yourself even though we will register the group.  Go to this site and create your account and enter your info.  Make sure to GIVE PERMISSION for the US Embassy or Government to contact your parents if needed.  Do this BEFORE our April 19 meeting.  Everyone must be registered by then.  For your address while abroad, use this address: 

     Institute of Spanish Studies

     Calle El Bachiller, 13

     46010 Valencia  Spain

 

j.  Pack according to the instructions and baggage limits.  Remember that for the excursion to Greece, we will NOT be checking ANY suitcases, so you will need an acceptable carry-on for the trip to Greece, and you will be allowed to take only those liquids that fit in 3-oz. size containers in quart-sized ziplocks (shampoo, etc.) for that trip.  So come prepared with any travel-sized items that you will need for the trip to Greece, and a carryon that meets Swiss International Airlines specifications (see your flight info sheet).  You may bring regular-sized items in your checked baggage to Spain.  You may check only ONE suitcase to Spain, in addition to your carryon items, and there are size and weight limits, so WEIGH your suitcase before leaving for the airport.  Remember to bring your course materials, textbooks and notebook with handouts and information.  Bring these homework assignments in your carry-on to discuss as we wait in the gate area.  Here are the relevant and important info sheets for packing and other last-minute tasks:

             Flight info and baggage limits               Packing info and list               Last Checklist Before Departure
