High School Spanish III
This course builds on the concepts learned in High School Spanish I and II. It is designed for High School students who have completed a basic overview of Spanish Grammar and are ready to focus on building vocabulary, practicing reading and oral comprehension, improving written and spoken communication, and studying the literature and cultures of various Spanish speaking countries.
Each week students will be asked to study vocabulary, review grammar concepts through exercises and written assignments, read and discuss abridged versions of classic Spanish literature, give oral presentations, and watch a Spanish television episode.
Students may be able to take Spanish III as an honors course if the material and course objectives comply with their state's particular requirements. Students who are interested in the ‘Honors’ designation should inform the instructor at the beginning of the course. Some additional assignments will be required. The decision to record the course grade as honors will be made at the end of the course, taking into consideration both the students' performance and state requirements.
The class includes 30 hours of live, online instruction per semester.
