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. By learning to apply and refine their grammar / /and vocabulary skills, they become able to express themselves creatively / / as they actively use the language. 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. / /
/ /
/ /Students journal about their day-to-day life, in Spanish, to practice / /what they are learning. 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 pen 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).
