Spanish

Students are assessed on the mastery of the five language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking and cultural competency) and build skills through games and activities. Students also participate in cultural studies that examine traditions from Latin America and Spain through multidisciplinary assignments and projects.
 
Upper School Spanish students research the lives of famous and influential Latinas, and have taken that information and created stop-motion videos using figurines and other props and the camera function on iPads. They splice their movies together with voiceovers recorded in Spanish.

Other projects may include reading a novel or watching Spanish language films with an analysis of the plot, the various characters, and their motives, or a study of poetry.
