The overall goal of learning a language in today's global society is to communicate effectively for business and travel. This includes being able to understand spoken and written language, as well as communicating fluently when speaking and writing. In this unit, you will develop the vocabulary knowledge and language structure skills you will need to navigate the different cities of Latin America and explore artistic and cultural movements with the goal of developing an appreciation across the centuries. 

 

Learning goals

Fundamental: Students will be able to identify vocabulary and grammatical structures related to travel and cultural activities in Spanish-Latin America.

 

Application: Students will be able to communicate in guided contextual situations using the appropriate register for the situation so that they can be understood by native Spanish speakers from Latin America.

 

Integration: Students will identify similarities and differences between their culture and American culture and share them in their video blog.

 

Human Dimension: Students will identify which areas of art are of greatest interest to them and explore those interests in preparation for creating an online art exhibit.

 

Care: Students will identify an appreciation for art and a recognition of the importance of maintaining this element of cultural heritage for future generations.


Learning to learn: Students will develop skills that will help them identify which learning strategies are most effective for them personally.
