Final Draft - Pen Pal Assignment

Previously, you wrote a 100 word autobiography about yourself. 

Now you will make a final copy of your rough draft. If you had all 100 words in your rough draft, then great! All you have to do is rewrite and type up your 100 words and follow the project guidelines below. If you did not meet the 100 word requirement, be sure to do so in the final copy of your autobiography.

This will be due on Tuesday, February 28 and will be worth a quiz grade. For every day that this is late, you will receive a 10 point deduction. 

There will be a ten-point deduction for every day that this assignment is late. Your project is late if you: left it at home, left it in your locker, left it in a class, etc. If you do not hand in your project when I collect it during your class period, it is late. 

The main components of this project are: 

1. Write 100 words in Spanish introducing yourself to your penpal (you do not know who your pen pal is), 

2. Make sure your 100 words are TYPED (this includes the two questions that you have to ask your pen pal),

3. Include a picture or drawing of yourself,

4. Make your project creative and beautiful, 

5. Read the project guidelines and rubric (below), 

6. Do not use Google translate, 

7. Hand in your project on time,

8. Spell check your project!!

9. Please do not number your sentences. You may just write your sentences in paragraph form.

Please do not wait until the last minute to complete/print your project. I am giving you over one week to type, spell-check, and print a fully corrected rough draft. You may either go to the public library, the library at school, or see me and I will help (in advance, not the same day). Do not email me your project.

Please put effort into your letter to your pen pal and make it beautiful and creative. This will help you achieve a high grade. Be sure to read the Autobiografía Rubric to ensure that you have met all of the requirements (below).

If you include any tense besides the present tense, you will receive a 0. We have only learned the present tense, so any other tenses will be a red flag that you used a translation device.

A brief example - please make your project creative in addition to your 100 words and picture/drawing.
