In this interactive 6 week, 1 time per week course, students will learn to speak, read, and write about personal and family Life in Spanish in a fun and engaging manner! This is a beginner level course. No prior knowledge of Spanish is necessary! The following topics will be covered weekly.
 • Greetings and Introductions
 • Numbers
 • Physical Descriptions, Personality Characteristics, Feelings, and Emotions
 • Family Members
 • Clothing and Colors

In addition to these topics, students will also learn the alphabet and numbers as part of this 6 week, 1 time per week Spanish 1 Part 1 course. The course will be taught in an interactive way using slides, games, songs, chants, dialogues, props, and skits. I scaffold instruction in such a way that students learn new information each week, while building upon, and reviewing, previously learned content! Within the topics, students will learn various grammar structures including present tense verb conjugations. 

Students will also learn to read and write in the target language. Reading will take place through students reading passages aloud for fluency and pronunciation practice. Reading comprehension will occur through question and answer activities after reading material in the target language. 

For writing in the target language, students will create a journal in Spanish. We will use a writing process with graphic organizers that will increase student use of vocabulary and elaboration.
