| SPANISH I Grades |
Spanish I is a study to expressing greetings, introductions, and discussing the community, family, school, schedules, activities and weather in Spanish. It develops the ability to use Spanish verbs in the present tense and introduces one possible way to use the past tense. We learn to pronounce words well enough for a foreign speaker to understand the Spanish we studied. Students will learn how to communicate in certain situations. A beginning knowledge of the Spanish-speaking cultures of the United States, Mexico City, Mexico and San Juan, Puerto Rico are introduced. |
| SPANISH II Grades 10-12 |
Spanish II is a continuation of Spanish I. In Spanish II we learn
how to identify places, give instructions and addresses, talk about shopping
and bargaining, order and discuss food, describe our daily routine and chores,
persuade others, describe past activites, make suggestions, talk about professions,
and discuss future events. We explore more of the present tense verbs, but
also learn to preterite form of verbs, how to give commands, use the present
progressive and introduce one possible way to use the future tense. We continue
to learn about Spanish-speaking cultures with a study of Oaxaca, Mexico, Barcelona,
Spain and Quito, Ecuador.
