NUTELLA PROJECT, due Monday, December 17

Previously, you wrote a 15 sentence autobiography about yourself. You have received these 15 sentences back.

Now you will make a final copy of your rough draft. If you had all 15 sentences in your rough draft, then great! All you have to do is rewrite and type up your 15 sentences and follow the project guidelines below. If you did not meet the 15 sentence requirement, be sure to do so in the final copy of your autobiography.

This will be due on Monday, December 17,  2018 and will be worth a quiz grade. For every day that this is late, you will receive a 10 point deduction. 

The main components of this project are: 

1. Write 15 sentences in Italian about yourself, 

2. Make sure your 15 sentences are TYPED,

3. Personalize your own Nutella label,

4. Make your project creative and beautiful, 

5. Do not use Google translate, 

6. Hand in your project on time,

7. Spell check your project!!

8. Please do not number your sentences or include any questions. You may just write your sentences in paragraph form.

9. Be sure to include accents when necessary. If you do not know how to make accent marks, you may print your project and write them in with a pencil.

Please do not wait until the last minute to complete/print your project. I am giving you one week  to type, spell-check, and print a fully corrected rough draft. You may either go to the public library, the library at school, or see me and I will help (in advance, not the same day). Do not email me your project.

There will be a ten-point deduction for every day that this assignment is late. Your project is late if you: left it at home, left it in your locker, left it in a class, etc. 

Please put effort into your project and make it beautiful and creative. This will help you achieve a high grade.

Skit

A Scuola – It is the second week of school and you are hanging out with your friends in the cafeteria. You are talking about your classes, what classes you like, your teachers, and homework. In groups of three, write a skit based on this topic.

Some helpful words are:

Frequentare – to attend

La classe – the class

Il corso – the course

Divertente – fun

Gli appunti – notes

I compiti - homework

Write a 30 sentence (total) skit in a group of three. Lines should be distributed evenly. If you are in a group of four, you must have 40 lines.

- The following phrases do not count as a “line”or a “sentence.” – Ciao, anch’io, arrivederci, grazie, prego, etc.

- A sentence must have a conjugated verb.

- Every person in each group should be writing the skit. One person should not be doing all the work.

- All groups will present tomorrow. Lines do not have to be memorized, but you should be creative and comfortable with your lines.

- One final draft should be handed in before you present so that I may follow along. So if you have three people in you group, you should have four copies of your skit (one for me).

-Please make your skit creative and fun.

-Remember – if you use Google translate or “receive help” from anybody but your group or a dictionary, you will receive a 0. It is very easy for me to determine if the work you present is not your own as we are limited in what we have learned thus far and only know how to conjugate certain verbs.

-This will be worth a quiz grade.
