Question

It's time to show off the Spanish skills you've been working on. With these "Putting it Together" activities, you are going to take everything that you've learned so far and put it together in a realistic situation. Sometimes you'll answer questions about documents and pictures that you see, sometimes you'll write stories and descriptions--sometimes you'll do both! These activities will really help you see how Spanish is used in the real world. Good luck!

Performance Challenge

Write yourself an excuse note for a missed school day due to an illness or injury. Indicate to the office secretary what ailed you. Did you go to the doctor or no? What were you sick with -or- what did you injure? What did you do to help yourself get better. How are you feeling now? Write a minimum of 5 complete and detailed sentences in Spanish.

You will be graded on (a) appropriate use of grammar and vocabulary, (b) completeness and detail of the response, and (c) overall quality of the response.

Answer 1

(Name) excusado/a por el/la Dr/a (name) para el día de ayer. Estuvo en el hospital.

Indicate office secretary: Me fracturé la pierna al caerme de mi bicicleta, fui al hospital ayer ya que mi madre quería ver si me mejoraba por la noche. La pierna se me hinchó mucho por la cual mi mamá me llevó al hospital en donde me pudieron sacar placas y confirmar de que me había fracturado la pierna. El doctor me dijo que tuve mucha suerte. Si el hueso se hubiera movido un poco más a la derecha me iban a tener que poner tornillos para poder mantener el hueso derecho y sin movimiento. No estoy en mi mejor estado pero sigo para adelante. La vida es dura y así son las cosas.

Not the best but I tried :)
