Spanish Writing Practice with Pen Pals

In this course, students will write letters to each other on guided topics, in order to practice their written Spanish. 

Each week, they will have 1 assignment. Each assignment focuses on a specific grammar point, tense, and vocabulary. They will have an example letter to refer to, and instruction/guidance on what to include. 

The written assignments for the course include: 

0. Introducing yourself (before the course begins)

1. Describing your family, house and schedule using hay, time expressions
2. Describing future plans (trip, vacation, university) using the verb ir 
3. Explaining your dream job and how to obtain it using tener que 
4. Describing your own traditions for a holiday, using frecuency adverbs

Since this is a practice course, students should have a high basic/intermediate level of Spanish (Spanish 1 is preferred as a prerequisite) in order to participate in this course. This is not an instructional Spanish course. 

First, students will submit their letters for corrections and feedback to their instructor. They will need to correct the work. Then, students will post their letters in the Outschool classroom. 

They will be expected to reply to one other classmate each week, as assigned by the teacher. They are welcome to reply to additional classmates as well.
