SPANISH IV

Full year - One credit

The prerequisite for this course is successful completion of Spanish III and the New York State Regents examination in Spanish. Emphasis is placed on mastery of the spoken and written language. The study of Spanish literature is introduced by reading and discussing Don Quixote and El Cid. Students learn about Spanish history, culture and geography, and they have an opportunity to present research about a major Spanish city to their classmates. A favorite activity is researching an authentic Spanish “tapa,” preparing it for the class, then creating a café within the classroom so each “tapa” can be sampled by all.
