How to make Flashcards…

Pearson-MTHS 2014

What do I do?

• There are three ways you can make flashcards for extra credit.

• 1. Use index cards or cardstock paper.

• 2. Make a vocabulary/grammar PowerPoint.

• 3. Make a vocabulary/grammar video clip.

Index cards

• Make your E.C. flashcards using index cards. • Write the Spanish word/phrase on one side.• On the other side write the English translation.• Remember to use markers that will not show

through the paper!!

Index Cards

• Include your NAME, class period, and Unit/Chapter # of flashcards as a separate card. Don’t forget to use a paper clip or rubber band to keep them together!! Examples:

Susie Q. StudentPeriod 5Unit 1-Greetings

Susie StudentPeriod 1Chapter 1.3- pg. 31

Example

la casa

Spanish word/phrase

the house

English translation on the other side

Power Point• Make your E.C. flashcards using

PowerPoint. This can also be a game!• Type the Spanish word/phrase on a slide.

Use custom animation to make this word appear first.

• Type the English translation on the same slide. Use custom animation to make translation appear second.
