Spanish II

Course Description

In Spanish 2 students will continue through intermediate Spanish reading, writing, and speaking. We will learn vocabulary about common real-life situations, and 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 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.

Wednesday: For today, I created a conjugation practice activity that will have you writing five basic conjugation sentences:

  1. Open the Conjugation Preterit power point.
  2. Open the quizlet program, and go to the set ‘A3 Verbos -ar.’ Start with the verb that corresponds with your birth month. For example, if you were born in March, go to the third one, ‘llegar.’
  3. Randomly choose a different pronoun by entering pronouns into a random wheel on wheeldecide.com
  4. Write a simple sentence using the verb, and choose a random conjugation using your manipulative.

‘Pronoun’ + ‘verb’

Example: Nosotros llegamos.

  1. Move to the next verb in the list and do this again four more times.
  2. Then, go to the 20th verb, vivir, which is the first -er/-ir verb, and add your number of birth month, such as three more is the 23rd, ‘beber.’
  3. Now, write five simple sentences using preterit tense -er/-ir verbs.
  4. In total, you should have ten simple sentences using preterit tense -ar and -er/-ir verbs.
