World Languages Grades 5 & 6

World Languages is designed to guide students toward a better understanding of what language means in the society in which we live. This course will help students gain insight into what it means to study a foreign language. Students will also work on the development of critical thinking skills and begin to learn about foreign cultures. This class is an introduction to French, Spanish, and Latin, covering a trimester of each. The idea behind this course is to excite students and inspire them to want to further their exploration of foreign languages in the future. Our classes meet virtually one time per week, all year long. Homework is not often assigned but when it is it can usually be completed in 10-15 minutes. There will be short projects and assessments each marking period.
