Scottsbluff Public Schools - Every Child, Every Day
Class Description
Spanish 3 is a continuation of the Spanish 2 course, including the development of all modalities of the language – listening, speaking, reading, and writing – with a heavy emphasis on daily conversation, reading comprehension, grammatical structures and verb tenses. Students will deepen their understanding of vocabulary, practice reading and oral comprehension, improve written and spoken communication, and study the literature and cultures of various Spanish-speaking countries. Spanish 3 moves beyond daily life or leisurely activity discussions into topics such as passage of life with its important milestones, professions, history of Spanish speakers, the press, art and literature, food preparation, the history of food and up-to-date Spanish news articles. Skills are developed through more advanced reading, writing, and listening activities, as well as ample daily opportunities for speaking practice. Spanish 3 provides a greater emphasis on the Spanish language and conversation, grammar, and culture. The primary purpose of the course is to prepare students to be college-ready, well-rounded global citizens who can communicate effectively in Spanish and are aware of the cultural influences of the Spanish and Latino heritage at home and abroad. Students in this course build on their Spanish knowledge by learning more complex grammatical structures and become equipped to read and understand a variety of literary selections and gain necessary skills to interact verbally and in writing with Spanish speakers in varied social and business situations. As part of the course, students will be afforded opportunities to read, write, hear, and speak Spanish while they work towards becoming linguistically and culturally literate. Students read books to grow their knowledge and vocabulary. This course includes a broad series of lessons and activities that offer a variety of modalities for ultimate student engagement and content retention.
