INTRODUCTION:
Spanish 11 is designed to give you an introduction to the Spanish language, the the most spoken language in the world behind Mandarin.
Spanish 11 is designed to give you a broader range of vocabulary, verb tenses and grammar structures necessary to expand your comprehension and speaking ability. For the first little while we will be reviewing all concepts learned in the earlier grades to make sure you have a solid foundation and then we will embark on our journey. Spanish 11 concentrates heavily on the 2 past tenses: the preterite (el pretérito) and the imperfect (el imperfect). Be prepared to work hard and have fun! In grade 11, you will create your own fictional stories in the past tense, you will create commercials in groups, you will write biographies about your favourite Spanish movie or sports stars and you will do many other group presentations. It will be a challenging year but one that I know you will enjoy! |
OVERVIEWS:
In Grade 11 Spanish, we cover such themes such as:
Did you know that the Spanish-speaking countries of this world are culturally diverse? This means we may share a common language but a very different culture. Cultural exposure to the various Spanish countries is explored in every unit. |
