Spanish III

This course is designed for students who are college-bound or are simply interested in an advanced and rigorous study of Spanish. Students will expand a complex, high-level vocabulary focusing on academic themes such as art, self and society, politics, and justice. Students will achieve competence in many advanced grammatical structures including: the subjunctive, the present perfect, the pluperfect, the conditional, and the imperative tenses. Students will be expected to conduct themselves in Spanish and will move towards complete Spanish interaction by the end of the year. They will begin to read complex texts and be able to respond intelligently and extensively both verbally and in writing both to the texts, to each other, and to the teacher. A strong foundation with the preterit and imperfect tenses is highly recommended.
