Hi,
I checked your blog and I found some things I like to share with you. First of all, check your spelling and punctuation in your reading. Write the meanings of your vocabulary section in english. The games and the exercises are too easy. Try to use the verbs from the book and not the ones we always use to report. I could not find the video about Cuyagua. Write down the page whee it can be found. I saw a mystic man one. I don't think it has to do with Cuyagua.
Remember you have an extra week to correct.
You can do a great job.
