Plan Level 2 NCEA IB 2018.pdfYouth Matters – Preocupaciones de los Jóvenes
Youth Matters – Preocupaciones de los Jóvenes
The “big idea” for year 12 is issues that affect young people in New Zealand and in Spanish-speaking countries.
Situation: Last year you went on exchange to Spain, attended a Spanish school and made friends there. You have kept in touch with them and communicate regularly with your friends and the Spanish school via social media, e-mails and a blog. This year, you will be discussing with them in different formats issues such as health, the impact of technology, a movie that you have watched and family relationships. You will develop and justify your ideas and opinions and offer comparisons between both countries.
The step up to level 7:
By the end of level 6, you are communicating information, ideas, and opinions and expressing and responding to personal ideas and opinions. The content and language of the communication is targeted beyond the immediate context to include the appropriate expression of opinions using a variety of text types.
In addition to this, at level 7 you begin to engage in sustained interactions and produce extended texts as you explore the views of others and develop and share personal perspectives. The content and language of the communication is targeted to include the expression and justification of your own ideas and opinions, as well as supporting and challenging the ideas and opinions of others. You are able to respond to increasingly complex and varied texts.
Skills, Text and Content:
The Big Idea at Level 2 is “Youth Matters”. Through the topics in this big idea, you learn to listen, read, view, speak, write, present and perform in Spanish in the context of the Level 7 achievement objectives.
Like last year you will refer to a number of textbooks, some which you have used before, to help you to consolidate last year’s coverage. They will be supplemented by online resources such as Quia, Language Perfect, Linguascope, Youtube, as well as basic readers, selected websites and teacher produced resources.
The key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum are integral to the delivery of this course:
● Thinking
● Relating to others
● Using language, symbols and texts
● Managing self
● Participating and contributing
Homework:
Homework is a given! You will know from last year the value of daily revision on Language Perfect, essential in such an intense course. As you learn new work you will need to revise what you learnt last year.
