7th/8th Grade Intro to Spanish Elective
Assignment Calendar
Course Description
In Spanish for 7th and 8th grade, 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 based on the units they will choose. The Spanish for 7th and 8th grade is intended to serve as an introduction to Spanish language that will last for one quarter only.
In Spanish class we will practice speaking activities using props, we will listen to and sing songs to practice and for memorization, and we will practice vocabulary and grammar by playing 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 learning about and making authentic crafts. Student learning will be assessed by testing listening, reading, writing, conversational speaking, and presenting.

Because the weather caused us to miss a morning, an afternoon, and a whole day, we didn’t get a chance to do much of what was planned for last week, so the plan looks much the same.
