OVERVIEW Spanish II continues the Spanish language sequence at the High School. This full year course continues the development of listening, speaking, reading and writing competency in Spanish. It is designed for students who have successfully completed Spanish I in the high school or eighth grade Spanish. Students improve their control of the present tense and learn to express their desires and recommendations via the simple past tense. The textbook is Realidades II. All objectives are practiced with the goal of communicative and cultural awareness. Students will communicate with spoken and written forms using interpretive, interpersonal and presentation modes. Students will demonstrate understanding of a culture via these same three modes. II. RATIONALE New Jersey citizens are part of a dynamic, interconnected, and technologically driven global society centered on the creation and communication of knowledge and ideas across geographical, cultural, and linguistic borders. Individuals who effectively communicate in more than one language, with an appropriate understanding of cultural contexts, are globally literate. The study of another language and culture enables individuals to communicate with people from diverse cultures. The study of another language fosters attitudes, values, and skills that indicate a positive disposition and understanding of cultural differences and that enhance cross-cultural communication. III. GOALS (Linked to NJ Core Content Standards) 7.1 World Languages: All students will be able to use a world language in addition to English to engage in meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present information, concepts, and ideas, while also gaining an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures. Through language study, they will make connections with other content areas, compare the language and culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities. Language learners can be expected to move through levels of proficiency at different rates. In addition, language learners may demonstrate differing proficiencies depending upon the communicative mode in which they are functioning (interpersonal, interpretive, or presentational). In Madison High School, students who are taking Spanish II should meet the cumulative progress indicators for the Novice-High Level of proficiency. Novice-High Level students communicate using strings of sentences to ask and answer questions, to handle simple transactions related to everyday life, and to talk about subject matter studied in other classes. By the end of Spanish II, students taking a continuing sequence of language from middle school will: A. Interpretive Mode: 1. Recognize familiar words and phrases, understand the main idea, and infer the meaning of some highly contextualized, unfamiliar spoken or written words contained in culturally authentic materials using electronic information sources related to targeted themes. 2. Demonstrate comprehension of a series of oral and written directions, commands, and requests through appropriate physical response. 3. Recognize some common gestures and cultural practices associated with target culture(s). 4. Identify people, places, objects, and activities in daily life based on oral or written descriptions. 5. Demonstrate comprehension of short conversations and brief written messages on familiar topics. 6. Identify the main idea and other significant ideas in readings from age- and level-appropriate, culturally authentic materials. B. Interpersonal Mode: 1. Use digital tools to participate in short conversations and to exchange information related to a variety of familiar topics and some unfamiliar topics. 2. Give and follow a series of oral and written directions, commands, and requests for participating in age- and level-appropriate classroom and cultural activities in familiar and some unfamiliar situations. 3. Use appropriate gestures, intonation, and common idiomatic expressions of the target culture(s)/language in familiar and some unfamiliar situations. 4. Ask and respond to factual and interpretive questions of a personal nature, on school-related topics, and on some unfamiliar topics and situations. 5. Engage in short conversations about personal experiences or events, topics studied in other content areas, and some unfamiliar topics and situations. C. Presentational Mode: 1. Synthesize information related to the cultural products, cultural practices, and cultural perspectives associated with targeted culture(s) to create a multimedia-rich presentation on targeted themes to be shared virtually with a target language audience 2. Dramatize student-created and/or authentic short plays, skits, poems, songs, stories, or reports. 3.
