Foreign Language Academic Bowl
Five students from the Spanish 3-4 classes competed in the Foreign Language Academic Bowl Competition at USI on Thursday, March 16th with 14 other high schools and tied for 5th place. The entire competition and the twenty questions were asked in the target language and were focused on areas of advanced grammar as well as the culture of the Andean region countries of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. In anticipation of this event, these five students dedicated their time to prepare in and out of the classroom by researching the Andean countries and reviewing their grammar concepts.
