Class Experience

This is a 16 week long Spanish I course that I have taught for over a decade.  Activities include solo work, group, games, listening to songs, etc.  Each class will try and reach every type of learner to meet the needs of all students. 

Topics covered are listed below. Each topic is a unit that will take about 4 weeks.  We will used varied assessments where parents will be able to track student progress throughout the semester.  This will include one weekly “check in” quiz.  We will take focus on all the “skills” of learning a language including reading, writing, speaking and listening.  

Topic 1: introduction unit (basic conversational Spanish phrases, days of week, weather, numbers) - 2 weeks. This unit will include a variety of songs, interactive games, solo work and group work.  
Topic 2: Describing what we like to do (forms of gustar, subject pronouns and ser) - 3 weeks. This unit will use a variety of games, solo and group work.  
Topic 3: Describing ourselves and others (subject pronouns and ser, adjectives) - 3 weeks  This unit will use a variety of group work, solo work and games. 
Topic 4: Describing our daily schedule, classes we have, etc.  (tener, -ar verbs, time, school vocabulary) - 4 weeks This unit will use a variety of group work, solo work and games. 
Topic 5: Read a novel (Berto and His Good Ideas).  Students will read for comprehension and we will bring in cultural topics about different Spanish speaking countries.  - 2 weeks This unit we will work as a whole group and individually and with games. 
Topic 6: Semester review, culminating project where students will present to the class what they have learned throughout the semester.  There will also be a cumulative test. - 2 weeks. This unit we will work individually and with games. 

Students frequently request my class because they feel comfortable to make mistakes and it is fun.  One student said quote “I always loved coming to Spanish.  It never seemed like Mr. Cotter had a bad day and he always could make me laugh and make Spanish fun.”  

Students will be given homework and a resource guide to keep practicing while outside the classroom.  The more students practice, the more prepared they will be for the following session.  

I am looking forward to learning and seeing your child progress with their Spanish.                                                                                                                                                             .
