At this level, students continue to exchange information about themselves and about other topics of interest. They are beginning to connect ideas to form complete messages or short interactions in Spanish.
Students communicate primarily in oral form while developing skills in written expression.
As a class, brainstorm activities in which students participate outside of school. Have students in small groups conduct surveys of their favourite activities and interests, using pre-framed Spanish sentence structures. Encourage students to maintain individual phrasebooks to list newly learned phrases. Ask them to create pictures next to the phrases for future reference. Invite students to interview classmates about their birthdates.
