Ceviche!

Erika brought a delicious Ceviche today!! 

According to Wikipedia, ceviche is a popular international dish prepared in a variety of ways throughout the Americas, reaching the United States in the 1980s.^[1] The greatest variety of ceviches are found in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador; but other distinctly unique styles can also be found in coastal Honduras, El Salvador, Belize,Guatemala, the United States, Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean, and several other nations.^[1][8]

Here is a recipe I found on youtube.  Make sure you add cilantro at the seasoning stage.  I love the taste of cilantro and lemon in Erika's dish.  Erika -- please tell me if this is the same, similar or different from what you did today!

Did you taste the Ceviche?  Have you had it before?  Can you tell me a story about eating Ceviche? Thank you Erika!!

Everything I do...

Do you already know this song?  Does it bring back memories?  Please write about a memory with this song if you have one.

 I like the written lyrics of this video better than my last blog post of this song, but I'm not sure I like the model's facial expressions.  Do you like the model?  Can you describe her?

Have you ever made a sacrifice that you are happy you made?

Pupusas!

Thanks to Salvador and his sister, morning class at Pimmit enjoyed delicious Pupusas today!!

I found a Martha Stewart video that explains how to make pupusas in English.  Salvador -- please tell us if this is correct!

Was today the first time you ate pupusas?  If so, did you enjoy them?  If not, how often do you eat pupusas?  Do you have a favorite restaurant for pupusas in this area?

Describing Personality

Adjectives describe people, place, things, and ideas.  Can you describe yourself?  Can you take a picture that symbolizes or shows your adjective?  Can you write what happens in one of these skits?

I can...

(The long instrumental--no words part--goes from 1:20-2:23)

We say "go the distance" to mean complete the race or do everything you need to do to meet your goal.  I've seen many students get fluent in English.  If that's your goal, we can definitely go the distance together.

Using "can"

What can you do best?  Can you take a video or picture and bring it to class or send it (or a link to it) to me at LJScheible@fcps.edu?
