Course Description: In middle school Spanish, students will learn a very similar curriculum to Spanish 1, but it will not be as rigorous. Students will learn the Spanish language and culture. Class will be a good mixture of English and Spanish. When class is in Spanish, students will be able to know what is going on in class because there will be pictures and gestures. Before moving on I will check for comprehension in English. Students will learn basic conversation, information about the Spanish speaking countries, where they are located, how to tell time, calendar talk, how to talk about the weather, parts of the body, clothing, favorite activities and much more. Students will get exposed to reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in Spanish. We will focus on speaking. By the end of middle school Spanish, students should be able to have a conversation about themselves and ask for information.
