SPAN 1
Composición #4

Mi vacación

* From the Practice for written proficiency found on p.257 of your textbook

In this fourth and final composition, you are tasked with writing a composition on what you did during a real or imaginary vacation in a Spanish speaking country.

Prewrite:

• Decide on the resort you are going to say you visited. You may want to re-read some information about the place in your textbook.
• Since you are going to describe what you did, you must use the past tense. Make a list of all the -ar verbs you know that relate to your vacation. You will also want to use ir and ser.
• Use the verbs in your list to write sentences about what you did or what others did who were with you.

Write:

• Begin with an attention-grabbing introduction that tells where, when, and with whom you went.
• Organize your writing. You may want to use chronological order, or you may prefer to organize by activity or people involved.
• Write a conclusion. End by telling why you had a great time. Los pasé muy bien porque...

Postwrite:

• Do not forget that you will be evaluated on the correct use and spelling of the verbs in the past tense, as well as on how organized, understandable, and interesting your composition is. So be sure to read over your composition carefully and correct any errors you find. Errors in grammar or spelling could lead to confusion on the part of the reader.

• must be double-spaced
• must have title (see above) - underlined and centered
• one of the top corners must contain (single-spaced):
