    Before moving on to Chapter 3, reflect upon what you can do with the language. Check off all of the things on the list below that you can do.

    For any actions you cannot yet do, review the topic and seek out additional resources such as tutoring, extra help from your instructor, online materials, etc

    After completing this chapter, i can:
    • Distinguish between the different subject pronouns.
    • Produce written and spoken sentences describing myself and others using the verb ser (to be) and adjectives that describe personality and physical characteristics.
    • Employ the use of numbers between 0 and 100 to ask and answer questions.
    • Express posession using the verb tener.
    • Produce written and spoken sentences describing myself and others using the verb estar (to be) and adjectives that describe conditions, emotions, and feelings.
    • Describe the location of places on campus in relation to one another.
    • Discuss the world around me using the calendar, clock, and expressions for weather.
    • Test my theories and assumptions about Spanish by using the language even when I am uncertain whether I am using it correctly.

    ¡A reflexionar sobre los objetivos!

    Goal setting, Paso 1. As we are working to be our best language learners, we need to regularly check in on our progress toward our goals. Use the questions below to reflect upon the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the chapter.

    My two short term goals were:

    1. ________

    · Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

    · ________ I have achieved this goal/ ________ I made progress toward this goal/ ________ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

    2. ________

    · Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

    · ________ I have achieved this goal/ ________ I made progress toward this goal/ ________ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

    My one long-term goal was:

    3. ________

    · Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?

    · ________ I have achieved this goal/ ________ I made progress toward this goal/ ________ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan.

    How do you feel about your initial greatest fear about learning Spanish? Better? Worse? Why?

    ¡A revisar los objetivos!

    Goal setting, Paso 2. Before moving on to the next chapter, take a moment to update your goals and/or action plans. It is okay to keep goals that you set for yourself previously if you are still working toward them.

    My two short term goals with action plans:

    1. ________

    ·

    2. ________

    ·

    My one long-term goal with an action plan:

    3. ________

    ·
