In this class we will read a short story in Spanish together. I titled this short story 'Eva's Unexpected Trip' ('El viaje inesperado de Eva). This is a flex class (meaning there are no live meetings). There will be two to three interactive presentations in Nearpod per week to maximize the exposure to the language. The first class of every week, we will read a chapter of the book (4 chapters) and we will learn some related grammar and vocabulary. In the second class, we will practice the new vocabulary and grammar through interactive activities. Finally, in the third class of every week, we will put our knowledge to test in a fun game. This means there will be three classes per week during 4 weeks. Hence, a total of 12 classes. This class will use Nearpod presentation for the listening and interactive presentations and a google presentation with access to vocabulary. Every week you will submit one or more written assignments. All interaction will take place through the Outschool classroom. The class includes songs, interactive games, collaborative boards, polls, and much more. 

This class will allow you to practice your reading skills in Spanish, learn new vocabulary and grammar and also interact with other students also learning Spanish through our Collaborative Board activities in Nearpod. We will all participate and contribute to particular topics given each week. 

You will also submit one or two written assignment in Spanish every week and I will provide feedback and comments. There will also be topics included in the Outschool class during the week to practice Spanish. 

The class will take place following this format: 

Week 1 to 4: 
Monday: Reading of the chapter number 1, learning of vocabulary and related grammar. The plot takes place in Spain. Every week there will be a little interactive presentation to learn about the country and its culture. You will submit one or two writing assignments. 
Wednesday: Questions about the chapter, activities to practice the vocabulary and grammar we have learned, and Collaborative Board Activity. 
Friday: We will put our knowledge to test through an interactive game. 
*You are always welcome and encouraged to respond to the questions in the Outschool Classroom during the week. Also I highly encourage you to ask your questions and get to talk to your classmates in Spanish only! 
The tenses cover in this class include: present continuous, present perfect, reflexive verbs, and verbs like 'gustar'.

Please note: 
*Students need to have previous knowledge of Spanish before signing for the class. You should be able to conjugate in the present tense. While most of the chapters will be in the present tense, there might be some other tenses. You will find as well reflexive verbs, phrasal verbs and common expressions. 

*This is a foreign language class. While participation is not required it is a necessary element for student success. Please keep that in mind when enrolling.
