In these second-level World Language courses, students progress from basic to greater expression and
are given the opportunity to further develop the language skills learned in Level 1. Students are expected
to initiate speech in the target language, and through the use of interpersonal, interpretive, and
presentational activities, improve their ability to converse and write with improved accuracy and fluency.
Cultural comparisons are discussed in the target language and technology is infused into instruction.
Students are assessed on their oral and written proficiency. Since learning advanced language skills
requires excellent study habits, this course requires substantial study time outside of class.

241 Spanish 3 Honors 10-12 5

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Spanish 2 and teacher recommendation.
This third year Honors-level Spanish language course will be used as a tool to discuss international
events and their relevance to what is happening today. It is also the language we will use to communicate
thoughts, desires, positions and opinions, as students study the geography, economics, politics, art and
literature of the Spanish speaking world. The primary goal is to enable students to read, write, analyze,
compare and debate various perspectives of the target culture and their own. A variety of authentic
resources will be used to develop writing skills, so that students communicate, reflect and apply the new
concepts and vocabulary studied on a daily basis. This course is designed to prepare students for
Spanish IV Honors and eventually AP Spanish.
