This high-school level class will develop reading, writing, listening,
/
/and speaking abilities through a variety of different activities. The
/
/students learn about Hispanic culture, they answer comprehension
/
/questions, all while learning the relevant vocabulary and structures.
/
/They apply and retain what they learn in a variety of formats. My goal
/
/is for the students to acquire a basic foundation for communicating in
/
/Spanish. Although this may be just a first year class, when I work with
/
/the students my goals are always long-term: To help them become fluent.
/
/
/
/Students journal about their day-to-day life, in Spanish, to practice
/
/what they are learning. We play games in class, eat Hispanic foods, and
/
/even sing songs ? all as a way to reinforce and enjoy learning together.
/
/ Because I grew up in a Mexican home and am a fluent speaker, I desire
/
/to communicate not just the nuts and bolts of the language, but its
/
/practical use in everyday life.
/
/
/
/
/
/Online component! In order to provide additional ways to interact with
/
/and take advantage of the material, we will be using both online and
/
/in-class instruction. Students will meet with me once a week in class
/
/where new grammar and vocabulary will be introduced. Their homework will
/
/ be a combination of traditional and online assignments. I will use the
/
/internet for: quizzes, some workbook exercises, listening activities,
/
/flash cards, and games. With such a variety of activities, students will
/
/ listen to the language and write it on a daily basis. Students will
/
/still take some tests and quizzes- the paper and pencil kind -
/
/administered in class. I?m excited about the opportunity to provide
/
/even more ways for your child to review and practice.
/
/
/
/
/
/Book and Workbook: You order the textbook on line from a bookseller of
/
/your choice. As soon as you register for this class, I will send you the
/
/ ISBN. I will order the workbook for you directly from the
/
/publisher ($17).
