My goal is to make Spanish engaging, fun, and challenging for / /your student. The most important thing for the students to discover is that / /learning another language is fun and will be useful throughout their lives. / /They are encouraged to participate without hesitation in an environment that is / /supportive and open to experimenting with Spanish.  I desire to / /communicate not just the nuts and bolts of the language, but its practical use / /in everyday life. / /

/ /

/ / In this second year of high school Spanish, the students will / /build on their earlier foundation of Spanish 1 skills as they broaden their / /ability to communicate. They are one step closer to becoming fluent. This is an / /exciting year for your student because he begins to see the effort of the first / /year begin to pay off. Homework will be about 5 hours per week (this does not / /include time needed to memorize words).

/ /

/ /      *  Students will learn to apply / /and refine their grammar and vocabulary skills.

/ /

/ /

     *  Students will journal about / /their day-to-day life in Spanish.

/ /

     *  Students will be assigned major / /grade projects though oral presentation.

/ /

     *  Students will use the internet / /for: quizzes, workbook & textbook exercises, listening activities, flash

/ /

         cards, and / /games.

/ /

     *  Students will participate in an / /interactive video series.

/ /

     *  Students will play fun and / /engaging games in-class and online.

/ /

     *  Students will learn about / /Hispanic culture through singing songs, and eating authentic Hispanic foods.
