Spanish I:

¡Hola!   Spanish I is the first in a series of courses designed to lead you to communicating in Spanish.  You will be immersed in the language through listening, speaking, reading and writing.  People best acquire a second language much like they acquire their first—by hearing speech in context.  TPRS (Total Physical Response—Storytelling), the method that we use, introduces vocabulary along with gestures.  The vocabulary is then used in the context of situations and stories which you (the student) take part in creating.  Intuitively, through much repetition within these stories, you will learn basic vocabulary and the structure (grammar) of Spanish, with grammatical explanations after the fact.  In addition, you’ll sing, view videos and take part in several cultural events to give you a taste of life in Spanish-speaking countries.


 

Journalism:

In this course, students will gain experience in page layout and design, print production, photography, and copywriting.  Students will learn to use page layout and photo editing software.  These students will be responsible for producing the yearbook.  This is a graded full-credit course.
