  • Latin II

  • Spanish III

    • Global Languages

    Spanish II, our highest level course, is geared for those students who have completed Spanish Ia and Ib. Present, future, past and conditional tenses are reviewed and further studied. The course is taught completely in Spanish and students participate only in Spanish. Reading and writing are major components in this course. A two-page essay and oral report are due with the study of every chapter in the text. Grammar, reading, writing, oral communication, listening comprehension and the study of cultural events are woven into each daily lesson. Upon completion, students are ready for the second year of Spanish in most secondary schools.

  • Spanish IA

    • Global Languages

    Spanish Ia is an introductory course. The class begins with verbal greetings and moves into descriptions of people, places and objects. Throughout the year this course covers grammatical rules and patterns. This grammar includes, noun/verb placement, noun/adjective agreement, possessives, the infinitive, present tense -ar, -er, and -ir verbs and ser and estar. In addition, vocabulary dealing with family, food, time, and daily activities are presented throughout the course. Each chapter of the text, ¡En Español!, focuses on a particular Latin country and culture and includes an audio and video program. The students also complete a cross-curricular project utilizing and combining their computer and Internet skills with the Spanish course content.

  • Latin IB

    • Global Languages

    Latin IB, the second half of the two year program, begins with a thorough review of the material covered in Ia. Once the class has demonstrated a solid understanding of the basics, the course moves on to more difficult concepts, including the passive voice and participles. Passage translation becomes more prevalent, and more emphasis is placed on reading involving Roman mythology and history. The successful completion of the two year course earns credit for Latin 1 at the secondary school level.

  • Mandarin IB

    • Global Languages

    Mandarin 1B is an intermediate class that is a continuation of Mandarin 1A and builds upon the language and cultural study from the introductory course. Mandarin 1B students are expected to read Chinese characters, write, and communicate the ideas expressed within the language. Oral drills, the writing and memorization of stroke order, reading comprehension, and listening skills are further developed throughout the course.

  • Latin IA

    • Global Languages

    Latin IA is the first half of a traditional high school first year Latin course taught over two years. Ia stresses vocabulary acquisition, a working knowledge of inflection, basic grammar, and syntax and translation skills. Topics on Roman society are discussed, especially the impact of Latin language and culture upon our society. By the end of the first year, the class has studied four conjugations of verbs in all six tenses of the active voice, five declensions of nouns, adjectives, and the uses of all six cases.

  • Spanish IB

    • Global Languages

    Spanish Ib builds upon the vocabulary, grammar and cultural study from Spanish Ia. A more detailed study of grammar includes stem changing verbs, irregular verbs, the future tense and the preterit tense. Vocabulary is geared towards the themes of each chapter of the text. The series develops an engaging story line involving two students who enter a contest to win a trip around Latin America. Spanish Ib students are expected to read, write, and communicate the ideas expressed within weekly assigned cultural essays. Oral drills, written work, reading comprehension and listening skills are further developed throughout the course.
