Advanced Students Very Busy in Spanish

Students in Dr. Jacobson's Spanish 5-6 class studied verb conjugations through a Power Point presentation with pictures reflective of verb meanings and questions requiring use of varied verb forms.

Spanish 7-8 students engaged in a 'Socratic Circle' where students developed 'critical thinking' questions based on two stories derived from the culture of Puerto Riico, El Jíbaro and Los Vejigantes. Students enjoyed presenting and responding to one another's questions. The activity resulted in an entire period of student-led Spanish discussion.

AP Spanish students have begun listening practice with Barron's AP Spanish preparatory audio program.
