What's included
24 live meetings
12 in-class hoursAssignments
1 hour per week. Sometimes students may need extra time outside of class to finish a mini-project. However, I will not assign homework outside of class during this camp course, unless extra practice is requested.Assessment
There will be informal assessment during class time. These informal, formative assessments will assure me of student understanding. These assessments will be quick checks for understanding during my direct instruction, as well as when students practice application through our activities. However, there will be no formal assessment.Class Experience
This is a 12-week semester course, which will meet twice a week. Learners do not need previous experience with Spanish as we will begin with greetings, introductions and the alphabet. Zoom classes will normally begin with a short lesson (about 10-15 minutes long), in which students will interact with my provided slides and play games at times (i.e. Bingo, Kahoot, Quizlet live) that will further their understanding. For the rest of class, learners will practice communicating the learned topic/skill independently and with each other. Few classes will require learners to watch a short video or complete a short activity before/after class. I will inform students and parents of these brief assignments when the classes begin.
Learning Goals
Students will learn and practice Spanish basics in the 4 modes of communication. They will learn to read, write, speak, and listen in Spanish.Students will learn vocabulary to have a basic conversation in Spanish.

Parental Guidance
We will be using external tools such as: Google Classroom, Canva, EdPuzzle, Gimkit, Kahoot, PearDeck, and I always encourage students to use the Duolingo app and website, but this will not be required for class.
For Gimkit:
Your student will be given a game code to join. And I will screen share for the game.
For Kahoot:
Your student will be given a game code to join. And I will screen share for the game.
For Canva:
Your student will need an email address (yours or their own) to access work and templates. It is preferable that the student has access to a GMAIL.com email as we will use Google classroom features.
For Google Docs and Slides:
The student will need a GMAIL.com email to access (yours or their own).
For NearPod:
The student will need an email account (yours or their own). I will screen share so students can follow along as well, in case there is ever a tech issue.
For PearDeck:
The student will need an email account (yours or their own). I will screen share so students can follow along as well, in case there is ever a tech issue.
For Edpuzzle:
The student will need an email account, preferably a GMAIL.com account (yours or their own).
For YouTube:
I will screen share any YouTube video resources that we use in class; therefore students will not need their own access to YouTube.
For Quizlet:
I will sometimes screen share a Quizlet resource or game that we use in class; however, I recommend that students create their own accounts and build their own study sets.
Supply List
A positive attitude and a growth mindset. A place for the learner to take notes would also be helpful! This could be a physical notebook and pen or pencil.
