Studies show that it takes people about 7 years to become fluent in a language. We have 4 years with students in high school. Every class that I have my students counts. The more students engage in Spanish through different venues the better chance they have of retaining what they are learning. Students need to speak, listen, read, and write in Spanish; with these materials I believe that they will do just that.
Students will have a chance to read in class every day and discuss their books and magazines with peers. They will have writing prompts to help them process their reading, which they will share with peers.
I also want to incorporate educational games to help reinforce what we are learning in class in a fun and engaging way.
