SPANISH II

Full year - One credit

The prerequisite for this course is Spanish I. In Spanish II, students are preparing for “checkpoint B” of the New York State syllabus in Spanish language. The vocabulary and grammar of the thematic topics introduced in Spanish I are expanded throughout the year. Topics are developed through engaging communicative activities, such as introducing peers, discussing future career plans, researching a Spanish-speaking country the student would like to visit, learning the structure of the family by creating a family tree, performing a mock doctor appointment, and creating a menu for an imaginary restaurant. Cultural understanding is promoted through projects in which students compare and contrast the American and Hispanic cultures.
