PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT   THE BEDROOM
DUE: MONDAY, MARCH 12 A DAY   or   TUESDAY, MARCH 13  B DAY

EL DORMITORIO/LA ALCOBA
Draw, cut from a magazine, Google an image or use clip art to illustrate a bedroom –a teenager’s room, a nursery, a master suite – a bedroom that appeals to you so that it will make it easier to discuss. Attach this to a white sheet of paper (computer paper/do NOT spend money on construction paper or poster board).    25 pts.

In Spanish, write a paragraph describing the room: its color, size, the furniture, patterns and/or knick knacks, what you like or dislike about the room. What do you do in the room? The paragraph should be a minimum of 150 words. I have provided a list of vocabulary words to get you started; you are not limited to these words nor do you have to use any of them. Your use of correct adjectival agreement is critical to this assignment.  50 pts.
