Mis Actividades Extracurriculares

Nombre__________________________

Create an extracurricular activity brochure for the 8th grade Spanish students at the
middle school. List 4 extracurricular activities (pastimes) in which you participate or of
which you are a member. Tell why you choose to participate in them/why you like them
or find them interesting. Tell how long you have been involved in each activity and
finally, compare each extracurricular activities/pastimes to other activities. In addition,
provide a picture for each extracurricular activity you list (draw, find in magazine, print
from computer).
Ejemplo: I am a member of the band. I have been participating in the band for
three years. I like to be a member of the band because it is fun and I like to
play music. For me, band is more interesting than choir.
