Buenos dias.

Okay the technology has failed us again, but if anybody knows Sra. Reed, they know I AM GOING to find another way!!!!

Here is the assignment we will be working on today.  Don't worry, when I see you Thursday I will get us ALL on the same page!

Essential Question:
What is the difference between an online Spanish dictionary and a translator?
Is it cheating to use a translator?
What are some online resources I can use to help me when my teacher is unavailable?


Activity:
As you begin to learn a second language, you will need to use different tools to help you express
yourself in the way you want. The teacher, classroom activities, notes and textbooks are all valuable resources that will help you to learn the language. Sometimes you might find yourself needing help to complete an assignment or to understand new information when the teacher is not available. Translators are not always effective at helping you. Translating is a very complicated skill that computer programs have not yet mastered, therefore they make frequent mistakes. They can be a starting point, but the translations need to be closely reviewed. Today we are going to do an activity that shows you the difference in finding a word in an online dictionary and using google translate.

Work Session:
Use an online dictionary such as https://www.spanishdict.com/ to find the correct Spanish translation for the underlined word in each sentence. Then, type each individual word into Google Translate. Make note of the differences you find. 

1. I turned on the light.
2. The box was very light.
3. My dog loves to run.
4. I run my parent’s business.
5. Don’t break the plate.
6. I haven’t had a break in hours.
7. The principal made an announcement to the staff.
8. The wizard broke his staff.
9. Squirrels bury nuts for the winter.
10. My teacher is nuts.

NOTE:

TILDE are the accent marks Ñ 

“Rolling of the tongue” is called TRILL

The letter H in Spanish is silent.

The letter Z in Spanish sounds like S.

The letters X and J sound like H in English.

When we spell words and the letters are not clear we use 

the following for clarity:

b as in bebé 

v as in vaca

d as in dedo
