Course Description

In Spanish one, students will be introduced to the basics of beginner Spanish, will learn vocabulary about common real-life situations, and will learn to communicate basic phrases in the target language using proper grammar by the end of the year. The units covered will introduce students to vocabulary and conversations about greetings, classroom, family, clothing, weather, and food. The grammar focus for the year will be present-tense conjugation.

In Spanish class we will work on classwork based on textbooks and workbooks, we will practice speaking activities collaboratively, we will listen to and sing songs to practice and for memorization, and we will practice vocabulary and grammar by playing hands-on and virtual classroom games. We will create presentational projects that demonstrate knowledge and skill using role-playing, props, and virtual touring. We will learn about other cultures by hearing about what it is like to live in other countries and by making virtual tours of new places. Student learning will be assessed by testing listening, reading, writing, conversational speaking, and presenting.
