My Spanish 3A is for first semester level 3 high school Spanish, and 3B is for second semester level 3 high school Spanish.
My focus in Spanish 3 is to get students speaking Spanish more conversationally, so each lesson includes a daily guided conversation topic (question) for partners and/or groups to discuss. I also want to get them started doing more expository Spanish writing, so 3A contains 6 “journal prompts” on topics such as school plans and friendships, and 3B has 4 journal prompts on topics such as art and the environment. At this level, I definitely want to start preparing students more explicitly for the speaking and writing demands of AP Spanish Language and Culture should they choose to go that far in our program.

(I sometimes don’t get that far in the lessons and that’s okay!)
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester for students, a grammar topics list by semester for students, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, daily conversation topics and sentence-starters for responses, writing activities, grammar topics (you use your own textbook materials or grammar workbooks and worksheets to go with the topic) and grammar homework assignments, two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam (plus practice tests for each.) My lessons are designed so that once y
