In middle school Spanish, we will be living la
vida latina as we work through practical
situations and traditional experiences in the Spanish-speaking world. Both the
linguistic and cultural elements inherent in studying a new language are
important to me personally, and are central to our middle school Spanish
curriculum. As we work through this curriculum, students will gain useful,
functional language skills to support their continued journey toward fluency
and success in high school Spanish, as well as develop a deepening
understanding of Latin America as dynamic, diverse place. A description of our curriuclum follows. Fifth and Sixth Grades: Students will practice and enhance their current vocabulary through our thematic units of study and through the immersion activities described below. Students will continue to practice using regular and irregular verbs in the present tense, and will learn the future and the imperative. Seventh and Eighth Grades: Students will continue to develop fluency in the present and future tenses and will learn to speak in the past tense (both preterite and imperfect). Vocabulary will be expanded through reading, writing, and listening activities as well as through our oral language immersion in class. Outcomes
Graduates of our Spanish program who have demonstrated proficiency in acquiring and applying their Spanish language skills will be place into second or third year Spanish in high school. |
