Spanish 3

Teacher: Ashley Stickel

Prerequisites: Spanish 2 

Class Length: Full year 

Age/ Grade Level: High School (9-12)

Class Description: During this year-long course, students will work to further develop and expand their knowledge and use of the Spanish language. They will continue to expand their vocabulary as well as their understanding of grammatical concepts such as: the conditional tense, reported speech, using past participles as adjectives, the different perfect tenses, more uses for 'se', and more complex sentence structures. Students will further their understanding of the subjunctive mood and its many forms during this course as well. Students will also continue learning about the many different Spanish-speaking cultures from around the world by reading passages and listening to audio files which will allow them to practice reading and listening comprehension. Students will study Bible verses throughout the course, which will allow them to be exposed to God's Word in Spanish. This will give them a base they can build upon to share the Gospel with others in the future. Students are expected to actively participate in class as we practice the concepts being presented and engage in the lesson by asking questions.
Homework: Homework will be assigned each week and students will have a week to complete the assignments. Typical homework assignments usually include the following: textbook activities, workbook activities, vocabulary practice, and listening practice.

Assessment Schedule: Each unit in the textbook includes two lessons. Students will complete a quiz after lesson one of each unit. Once both lessons one and two have been covered in class, students will take a test over that unit.

Supplies: The following materials will need to be purchased in order to participate in this course. Students are not required to write in the textbook or workbook, but can instead write answers to homework in a digital format or written on a separate sheet of paper and turned in to me. Audio files will be provided at no cost to the student.

Spanish 1

Teacher: Ashley Stickel

Prerequisites: A basic English Grammar course (knowledge of grammatical terms)

Class Length: Full year 

Age/ Grade Level: High School (9-12) Note:*8th graders may take the course if parents feel they are ready to handle a high school level course load.

Class Description: Watch your student go from Monolingual to Bilingual just like that! With this course, your student will not only develop and expand their linguistic abilities but they will gain confidence and cultivate new cultural understanding. In this introduction to Spanish, students will learn to ask and answer questions, give and follow directions, talk about their families, order food in a restaurant, make comparisons, talk about their plans, and speak in the past tense. Students will also study Bible verses throughout the course, which will allow them to be exposed to God's Word in Spanish. This will give them a base they can build on to share the Gospel with others in the future. In addition, we will explore a variety of Spanish-speaking cultures and traditions. The ultimate goal is that students will be better equipped and motivated to speak and interact with the Spanish-speaking community as a result of the greater cultural and linguistic understanding garnered in this course. 

Homework: Homework will be assigned each week and students will have a week to complete the assignments. Typical homework assignments usually include the following: textbook activities, workbook activities, vocabulary practice, and listening practice.

Assessment Schedule: Each unit in the textbook includes two lessons. Students will complete a quiz after lesson one of each unit. Once both lessons one and two have been covered in class, students will take a test over that unit.
