My Students' Imaginations.....

I love seeing what my Spanish 3 class comes up with. The other day we learned the Conditional tense (what would happen) and so I had my students write a Presidential Speech on what they would do if they became President of the United States. This was my personal favorite:

"Si fuera presidente, los estados unidos tendria divertido. Pintaria la Casa Blanca todos los colores. El nombre de la Casa Blanca seria la Casa del Arco Iris. Explotaria Antartica para divertido. Explotaria la luna para hacer fuegos artificiales. Todo el tiempo seria una fiesta. La bandera tendria mi cara. Todas las casas serian pequenas pero mi casa seria muy grande. Seria el presidente del mundo."

For those of you who don't speak Spanish:
"If I was President, the United States would have fun. I would paint the White House every color and it's name would be the Rainbow House. I would explode Antartica for fun and explode the moon to make fireworks. There would always be a party. The flag would have my face on it. Every house would be small but mine would be huge. I would also be the President of the world."

I thought this was a crack up. It was more funny when he was up in front of the class reading it!

Here's another favorite part of one. This particular student isn't as far ahead as the rest and mostly just likes to speak Spanglish. He likes to add "o" to the end of everything. So this is what he said for "signing a peace treaty" - "signo un peaceo treatyo." Guess you had to have been there when he was saying this outloud in front of everyone.

And no worries, I'm not making fun of my students.....I thoroughly enjoy it with them!
