Students arrived and took the end of the year test covering what we've learned this year (grammar, culture, leisure activities, festivals, music). If your student missed class, please have them take the attached test. The first section is multiple choice, they then have to give the definition to a list of verbs we studied during the music unit. On the second page, they need to use the words in bold below to fill in the blanks. Some words are used more than once.

After completing the test, they filled out an evaluation.
