Spanish 2 is designated to build on the skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing that were learned in Spanish 1. Students will be able to understand the main ideas in short stories and oral conversations, without having to comprehend every single detail. Students will write in a simple style about their life and ideas. Students will study Latin American culture and its influence here in the United States as well as famous Latin American people. In order to provide evidence of what students know and are able to do, they will be making presentations in writing and verbally, writing briefly on specific topics, completing homework assignments, and participating in classroom activities.
