First, fold the paper along the line after the first column (after the English column) so that the English is folded backwards (i.e., you could only see it if you flipped the paper over). Then, flip the paper over, and fold it over the line before the self-quiz column, covering all the columns except for the self-quiz column. Now, you should be able to see only the English and the self-quiz columns right next to each other. What you have to do now is to write the Spanish equivalent next to the English words on the list. For example, next to "Monday", you would write "lunes"; next to "Tuesday", you would write "martes", and so on until you finish the list. Once you're finished, open up your paper, and you should be able to see the "Spanish equivalent" column. Compare your self-quiz answers to the Spanish equivalent answers. If you got one correct, leave it alone. If you got one wrong, erase it, fold the paper back to only the English and self-quiz showing, and redo the ones that you got wrong the first. Check them, and erase the ones that you got wrong. Continue this process until you got everything correct.

When you are done with all of them, open your paper, and check that all the answers are correct. If they are correct, leave them alone. If you any any of them wrong, erase it/them, and quiz yourself again. Open your paper, check the answer, erase whatever you got wrong, close the paper, write the missing words, check,...

Make sure that you take the self-quiz seriously as just writing the answers to get credit defeats the purpose of the self-quiz. Besides, if you have any mistakes, that will count against you on the homework grade tomorrow; and, not knowing a word correctly could cause you to lose credit on the quiz, as well, as spelling and punctuation counts on the quiz.

HW: Complete the self-quiz column of the 1BV1: Days of the week vocabulary list. First, fold the paper along the line after the first column (after the English column) so that the English is folded backwards (i.e., you could only see it if you flipped the paper over). Then, flip the paper over, and fold it over the line before the self-quiz column, covering all the columns except for the self-quiz column. Now, you should be able to see only the English and the self-quiz columns right next to each other. What you have to do now is to write the Spanish equivalent next to the English words on the list. For example, next to "Monday", you would write "lunes"; next to "Tuesday", you would write "martes", and so on until you finish the list. Once you're finished, open up your paper, and you should be able to see the "Spanish equivalent" column. Compare your self-quiz answers to the Spanish equivalent answers. If you got one correct, leave it alone. If you got one wrong, erase it, fold the paper back to only the English and self-quiz showing, and redo the ones that you got wrong the first. Check them, and erase the ones that you got wrong. Continue this process until you got everything correct.
