¡Feliz viernes clase! Our activities on the blog will be in the green box located below. Read the activity and follow its instructions. When you are ready to answer the questions required, scroll down to the bottom of the blog page and click on add comment. Type your answers in the box that pops up and at the end of your answers, include your name. You MUST have your name in the comments box or you will NOT receive credit for your work. This is just like putting your name on your paper! ALSO, you must click anonymous from the check boxes listed below the comments box, since the comments are submitted to me for review and not published. If you leave the box for Google ID checked, your answers will be lost in space for all eternity (until you redo it!). Finally, you will be required to type in the random letters or words given at the bottom of the comments box to verify that you are not a robot. If you have ANY questions, please let me know!
Be reminded that you lose participation points when you are caught on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and similar sites. You may listen to music on a site like www.grooveshark.com that does NOT have videos and you must have headphones or earbuds. If music starts to interfere with your ability to complete your work or stay on task, you will lose that privilege.
Activity:
Have you ever noticed that a lot of Major League Baseball players are Hispanic? Do you know the country of origin for any of those players? Click on the following link http://www.hispaniola.com/dominican_republic/info/society_baseball.php to read a little bit about baseball in the Dominican Republic. After you read the article, research more about how baseball came to the Caribbean and answer the following questions: 1) What 2 Caribbean nations have a great passion for baseball, even more so than the United States? 2) What group brought baseball to these countries (be specific, I don’t want to just know what country introduced the sport). 3) Research the roster of the Detroit Tigers and tell me if any of their players are from a Spanish-speaking country. Who are they and where are they from?
