Course Description
In Spanish 3, students continue their exciting language journey with more vocabulary, phrases, and grammatical skills in
order to share and interpret information about themselves, their families, and their school and social lives. Students in
level three will also be able to communicate about current and historical events, jobs and education, the arts and literature,
and topics in science and technology. By the end of year three, students should communicate confidently in present, past,
and future tenses. Honors students will participate in many specially designed assignments and projects for a deeper
experience of the language and cultures.
As the target for modern languages in high school is the Intermediate-High level, the goal for this honors course is for
students to attain Intermediate-Mid proficiency (explained below). Therefore, this course will be conducted as an
IMMERSION course, with Spanish spoken 90% - 100% of the time. The best way to learn a language is to be immersed
in it, so you can hear it and read it; and then write it and speak it very similar to how you learned your first language.
But no worries J. Bring your will, and a positive and supportive attitude, and I will set you up for success!

Quizzes may be re-taken once if you did not perform well on the original attempt. However, the re-take grade
will be reduced by 15 points (approx. one letter grade). Performance assessments are graded based on
performance ratings (ie. Proficiency scale see p. 1-2)
*Missed classwork and quizzes may be made-up with an approved, excused absence. Make-up work must be
completed within one week of the absence (unless a previous arrangement has been made with Dr. Brown).
While make-up work is available for approved absences, it is expected that students attend class regularly as
most of our classwork activities will require communicative tasks.
