Spanish 1

General Course Description:

Learn the skills to discuss questions about immigration raging in the media today. Look at real stories about real people, their life in Mexico, what kids do there, what they worry about, what they love about their country and ours, and what it is like to be poor and to come to America as an immigrant. Examine why some feel they are a threat, and others a benefit to our country.

The core Spanish 1 grammar will meet Academic Standards so the students can enter Spanish 2 confidently.  Much of the vocabulary will be similar, but the activities and readings will focus on an immigrant’s life either in their home country or Minnesota.  As with the typical Spanish 1 program, readings will be in Spanish and English.
