Students in Dr. Jacobson's Spanish 5-6 class began a review of grammar,
comparing the past, imperfect and present tenses. In addition, students
described pictures they brought to class.
After having analyzed the figurative language (e.g. alliteration, metaphor, simile) in the poem 'Amigo mío', students in Spanish 7/8 are writing their first essay, focusing on the theme of friendship. The essay includes a conventional introduction, thesis statement, supportive details as well as evidence of critical analysis and application of the student's thesis to related concepts. As a tool for achieving native like pronunciation, students read aloud their first paragraphs to classmates, using their writing as an avenue through which to demonstrate their speaking skills.
In addition to writing a 5 paragraph essay, AP Spanish students evaluated their personal vocabulary and grammar knowledge through comprehension activities derived from listening and reading selections in commercially produced AP Spanish materials.
