In Spanish I, II, and III, it is suggested that students need to be a B average student in their English classes. Grammar skills, parts of speech, and memorization
are required for students to be successful in a foreign language. The student must keep an open mind and accept other cultural beliefs and practices. It is necessary that the students
study extremely hard and have self-discipline to succeed in this class. Throughout the year, daily quizzes, worksheets, and book exercises will be required of the students. In addition, Chapter Exams,
Nine Week Tests, and Unit Tests will count as a major part of their grade. Extra projects and cultural readings are also mandatory in each level of the foreign language. A geography uni will be covered
on foreign countries with students giving oral presentations and being assessed on map tests. The students will also view cultural films and documentations as part of the cultural connection. In order to receive
State Honors, the student must pass three levels of Spanish.
Foreign Language Standards Communication: Students communicate in languages other than English. They initiate and sustain spoken, written, or signed communication by providing and obtaining information, expressing feelings and emotions, and exchanging opinions in culturally appropriate ways in the target language. Cultures: Students gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures. Connections: Students connect with other disciplines and acquire information. Comparisions: Students develop insight into the nature of language and culture by enhancing their understanding of the nature of the language by comparing their own language to another. Communities: Students participate in multilingual communities with cultures at home and around the world. They use the language both within and beyond the school setting. Students show evidence of becoming lifelong learners by using the language for personal enjoyment and enrichment. |
