Course Overview

In this class, which is a High School credit course, students will be immersed in a Spanish program in which they will learn to speak, read, and write while applying critical thinking skills as they compare the Spanish language and its culture with those of their own community. Students will also connect to other academic subjects, such as Math, Science and Social Studies, using their knowledge of Spanish to access new information. Students will become aware of how Spanish is used every day in the real world. Their knowledge and skills in Spanish language will be measured through five groups: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Learning scenarios such as classroom situations and interactions among their Spanish Speakers at R.M.S will be used in conjunction with projects made at home and in class as well.
