SPANISH 1 - 121121
This is the first course in learning to speak, read, write and understand Spanish and the cultures of the people who speak Spanish. Much of the class work is oral, as a heavy emphasis is placed on communicative functioning in the language. You will also learn to write, listen, and read in Spanish. Your vocabulary will grow daily and by year's end you'll have the tools to speak and understand in common daily situations. Advanced reading and writing skills will be developed in the upper years of language study, and oral participation is required at all levels. This class is recommended for incoming freshmen with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. It is also recommended for all sophomores, juniors, and seniors with good study habits. Honors Spanish 1 is an option for the second semester.
Students must have a C or higher or teacher approval to continue to the next level. See ‘Spanish Honors Class Opportunity & Requirements’ section.

Honors Spanish 2 is an option for students who earned an A or B in Spanish 1 and want more challenge and learning.

SPANISH 4 - 121181
Spanish 4 will be very similar in pace and class style as Spanish 1-3, focusing on learning vocabulary and grammar. You will complete your four years of Spanish by building on and completing topics introduced in previous years. Students who successfully complete Spanish 4 should be able to enter college programs at the intermediate level, testing out of two or three semesters. With another semester or two of college study, you would finish off your knowlegdge of basic Spanish structures in order to focus on skill development with upper level college courses.
Spanish 4 will be very similar in pace as Spanish 2-3, focusing on learning vocabulary related to childhood, homes, current events and travel, as well as the following verb tenses: imperfect and perfect past tenses, future and conditional tenses and the subjunctive mood. The communicative focus of the course will be to continue to develop speaking, writing, listening and reading skills in preparation for the optional Seal of Biliteracy Test, offered around the end of the third quarter. Students are encouraged to take this test, but it is not required. Students who earn the Seal of Biliteracy not only earn special recognition on their diploma, transcript and at graduation, but also could earn college credit, depending on the college they will be attending.
Please talk with your Spanish 3 teacher and the Spanish 4 teacher if you are unsure whether you should take Advanced Spanish 4 or normal Spanish 4. While the curriculum will be the same for both courses, the class style will be different. Instruction will be provided in both Spanish and English, and Spanish 4 students are assisted and encouraged to speak Spanish as much as possible in class; in the Advanced class, students are assisted but required to speak only Spanish.

ADVANCED SPANISH 4 - 121201
Students who successfully complete Advanced Spanish 4 should fulfill all college language requirements or if you choose to continue, be able to enter college programs at the intermediate level, testing out of two or three semesters. With another semester or two of college study, you would finish off your knowledge of basic Spanish structures in order to focus on skill development with upper level college courses.
Advanced Spanish 4 will be very similar in pace as Spanish 2-3, and will follow the same curriculum and pacing as the normal Spanish 4 class. (See course description above.) The difference will be that students are required to only speak Spanish in class as the class will be conducted almost entirely in Spanish. This will be quite helpful to accelerate verbal communication skills in preparation for the optional Seal of Biliteracy test (also offered to normal Spanish 4 students) or college coursework.
Please talk with your Spanish 3 teacher and the Spanish 4 teacher if you are unsure whether you should take Advanced Spanish 4 or normal Spanish 4. In order to take Advanced Spanish 4, you would need the approval of both teachers.
