Course Overview:
In Spanish 2, students will continue to practice speaking, reading, and understanding Level 2 Spanish. In this course students will explore: how travel influences our worldview; how we define our cultural identity; what we can learn from different generations; how the roles of family members differ from country to country; how beauty standards change over time and across cultures; and how healthcare access differs across the world. This course will also investigate the impact of Spain’s colonial history on the world.
Students will be assessed on their listening, speaking, reading and writing assignments both in class and through their homework. They will also take a multi-part cumulative assessment at the end of each unit that allows them to use the grammatical structures and vocabulary words from each unit in a series of reading, writing, listening, and speaking prompts. Each unit also includes a cultural exploration of several Spanish-speaking countries and there is a cultural component to the unit test. At this level, students will go from writing basic complete sentences to writing complex multi-clause sentences and short paragraphs of 10-15 sentences in length.
