Course Overview

During the second year of Spanish students will continue their acquisition of Spanish in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.  Students are expected to complete various assignments and projects (individually, with partner, and in groups), work at achieving a higher level of understanding of the Spanish language, continue to explore and understand Spanish culture and history, and maintain a World Language Portfolio.  We will also begin reading short pieces of Spanish literature.
