Class Notes and
Practice Activities
Worksheets

Miscellaneous
Your
notebook must be brought to class every day.
Goals: Our main goal is to help students to gain both
language ability and an understanding of the many Hispanic cultures. I believe that in order to truly understand
a culture you must understand the culture that exists where the language is
spoken.
Course Objectives:
Students will be required to write down daily objectives and essential
questions that will describe what we are studying for that day.
Our
Spanish program includes knowledge from each of the 5 C’s of Spanish:
Communication
The communication standard stresses the use of language for
communication in "real life" situations. It emphasizes "what
students can do with language" rather than "what they know about
language."
Cultures
Experiencing other cultures develops a better understanding and
appreciation of the relationship between languages and other cultures, as well
as the student's native culture.
Connections
World languages instruction must be connected with other subject
areas. Content from other subject areas is integrated with world language
instruction through lessons that are developed around common themes.
Comparisons
Students are encouraged to compare and contrast languages and cultures.
They discover patterns, make predictions, and analyze similarities and
differences across languages and cultures.
Communities
Extending learning experiences from the world language classroom
to the home and multilingual and multicultural community emphasizes living in a
global society.
