12 Emotions // Due the week of Jan. 15, 2015

Hola Clase!

For homework this week, I am going to have you check out a really neat online resource! I have created a flashcard set for emotions (as well as some other vocab you probably already know), and I want you to check it out and spend some time with it this week. You can find it at

http://quizlet.com/65394468/emotions-flash-cards/

Play around with the flashcards and the games if you can (some typing ability is useful) and tell me next week how it went!

Gracias and let me know if you have any questions!
