			Don't foget about the... 30 hour credit project requirement! Remember, in order to earn a credit in Spanish, you must complete a 30-hour credit project (above & beyond homework & time sheets) that extends your learning about Spanish / Spanish-speaking culture outside of the classroom. You will now be asked to turn in your credit project hours (yellow paper with squares on it) every Wed./Thursday along with your time sheet. NEED IDEAS? CLICK HERE! Due: End of May
			For listening time sheets: If you need something to listen to and you don't have a buddy to talk with or Spanish TV or movies with Spanish language (not subtitles), there are many links within these links below - have fun! http://staff.edmonds.wednet.edu/users/swensonk/Spanish%20links/music.htm http://staff.edmonds.wednet.edu/users/swensonk/Spanish%20links/radio_tv.htm Here's a new one where you can also try to do some comprehension exercises: Go here & put "listen" in the search box & click "go"- you'll see a list. http://oye.languageskills.co.uk Here's another new one - listen to sentences as they're read to you (includes English subtitles - yeah!): http://multiphrase.org New one: Musica de la Raza - Aztlan to El Barrio every Saturday morning from 5 to 7 on KBCS 91.3 FM (www.kbcs.fm)
