Sights in Spain :)

When I visit Spain, I am going to visit Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, and Seville. While in Barcelona, I will visit Cook and Taste, Guell Park, the Church of the Sacred Family, the Magic Fountain, and SphereMania Barcelona. I chose these places because some are historic,to teach the students, like the church and Guell Park, and others provide a taste of the thrill in Barcelona. In Barcelona, we will eat at the Restaurante Parrilla Alfonsina and they specialize in the Argentinian Steak. In Madrid, we will visit Prado Museum, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and the Gateway of the Sun. I will have us visit these places because they are historic and show a lot of insight about the culture in Madrid. Here, we will eat at Tandoori Station and will try a taste of the curry and naan bread. While in Toledo, we are going to visit the Cathedral of Toledo, the Palacio de Galiana and the Museum of Visigothic Culture. I would like to visit these places because they are full of interesting history and culture. They are also very cheap for the students. Toledo has very nice restaurants and while we are here, we will be eating at the Restaurante La Ermita and ordering the classic dishes of Toledo. When we finish in Toledo, we will take the train from Toledo to Seville. In Seville, we will visit Alcazar, Seville Cathedral, Plaza de España, and the Basilica Macarena. The places we plan to visit in Seville provide insight about a variety of cultures and religions , such as Islamic, Catholic, and Spanish. I feel that this will be a good cultural experience for all the students. We will eat at Vineria San Telmo and they specialize in the Tapa Rascacielo. I will try to take the students to the open markets in the places we visit so that they can experience life in Spain on a daily basis. Also, I will have them study up on Spanish history so they are prepared for discussions when we visit museums and churches. The cost will only be about $2800. I will take roll wherever we are and I will make sure that the students always alert me before going anywhere.

Mis padres desean que yo saque buenas notas. Mis padres insisten en que deba hacer mis quehaceres. Mis padres esperan que entre en una buena universidad. Mis padres espero que aprenda muchas cosas. Mis padres quieren que sea respetuosa. Quiero que mis padres estén simpaticos y me traten bien. Deseo que mis padres no dé muchos quehaceres. Sugiero que mis padres limpien la casa porque yo no lo haga. Deseo que mis padres hacan mucha comida deliciosa. Quiero que mis padres me compre muchas cosas.

Grace Morgan's First Blog Entry ! (:

I am excited about being in Spanish 3. This semester, I hope to expand my knowledge of the Spanish language and I want to learn more vocab. I am taking Spanish 4 because my hope is to complete the language in college as well. Also, this semester, I hope to get good grades in all my classes and get a 3 or 4 on my AP exams. I like blogging because I feel as though this is a good way to share my thoughts and it is an easy way to do good in this class. Yes, we blogged with you in Spanish 2 so I already know how to do this. I do like blogging and I can see it as something good for grades this semester.
