No Let Up in Spanish 5-6, 7-8 and AP!

Spanish 5-6 students in Dr. Jacobson's class practiced the for the Entrevista this week, asking and answering each other questions from the study list and refining their responses.  The interview activity is certainly providing students an opportunity to integrate all the communicative skills they have developed during their 3 years of study of the Spanish language.
Spanish 7-8 students reviewed direct and indirect objects and the past tense through online quizzes the classes reviewed together.  In addition, students practiced fluency skills through a translated version of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem 'Song of Life - La canciĆ³n de la vida,' developing questions and answers related to the reading. 

Spanish AP students continued building vocabulary as well as listening and reading skills in preparation of the May 7th AP exam, through the APEX online practice exams and Barron's review materials.  Students' most recent essay was based on the expanded benefits of the computer in modern day society in the areas of music and the arts.
