Spanish III - L1

Spanish III students will advance their proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening.  Thematic units include the city, health and well-being, travel, nature and the environment, science, technology and immigration.  Students will further their knowledge of verb tenses in the indicative and subjunctive moods. Students will also use the imperative mood and advanced grammatical structures.  Students will be required to complete projects that are related to the above mentioned topics.  Various readings, video clips and films will be used to increase the students’ exposure to the Hispanic culture.  Essential skills for this course include circumlocution, auto-correction, using contextual clues and proper use of online resources and technology.  Instructional strategies are based upon and informed by the five Cs (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, Communities) established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language.
