Our classes

Dias especiales: Talk about weekend activities. Describe special events and celebrations.
Chapter 1: Dias inolvidables. Describe a visit to a national park, talk about school competitions regarding that outcome of an event, narrate an event in the past, and understand cultural perspectives on family outing.
Spanish IV & V AP
The Spanish Speakers classes will explore the significance of oral tradition as a literary genre. Students will enhance their appreciation for the language, literature and culture by analyzing a variety of readings.
The Spanish IV IB class will focus on how linguistic diversity, from a local to a global perspective, has and continues to influence social relations. Students will analyze the linguistic evolution, the cultural diversity and the historical importance of the Spanish language.
The Spanish IV AP class will explore education from a global perspective. Students will compare and contrast education systems and the educational challenges faced by many from around the world.
The Spanish V AP/IB students will center on 1) how medieval literature reveals the cultural practices and perspectives of the people that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula and 2) how cultural perspectives influenced the representation of historical events and the encounters between indigenous Americans and Europeans.
