Course Description

In Spanish II students will continue through intermediate Spanish reading, writing, and speaking. We will learn vocabulary about common real-life situations, and we will learn to communicate basic phrases in the target language using present and past tense grammar by the end of the year.

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 visiting new places virtually. Student learning will be assessed by testing listening, reading, writing, conversational speaking, and presenting.
