Cuadernos Interactivos Mrs. Wright’s Clase de español

Purpose of Interactive Notebooks The purpose of the “Cuaderno Interactivo” is to enable you to be a creative, independent thinker and improve proficiency in español. They will be used for class notes and for other activities where you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented. This notebook is different from a traditional notebook because it requires you to think about everything that you write or draw in it.

Are You Ready? This year will be many things to many people but dull, boring, and uneventful is not going to be one of them. All activities will not appeal to all tastes, but they are designed to teach content, encourage creativity, and more than likely challenge your way of thinking and doing. Success begins with you and requires your commitment, so leave all of your excuses outside the door and enter with a willingness and enthusiasm to share, learn, and develop new ideas.
