My ideas of teaching Spanish in the classroom

Why should we learn Spanish?

I chose this topic because Spanish is the third language spoken in the world. It's my first language, and I love it. Because when we speak English and Spanish (especially in U. S.) , we are offered a wider range of opportunities.

We can ask ourselves these questions:

1. Is Spanish an important language in U.S.A.?

2. How can you learn Spanish?
3. How can your world become wider?


Knowledge and skills

(1) Reading/Fluency. Students read grade-level text with fluency and comprehension. Students are expected to:

(A) read aloud grade-level text with accuracy, expression, appropriate phrasing, and comprehension; and

(B) use prosody when reading aloud grade-level text based on the reading purpose and the nature of the text.

(2) Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to:

(A) determine the meaning of grade-level academic Spanish words derived from Latin, Greek, or other linguistic roots and affixes;

(B) use context (e.g., cause and effect or compare and contrast organizational text structures) to determine or clarify the meaning of unfamiliar or multiple meaning words;

(C) complete analogies that describe part to whole or whole to part (e.g., motor:carro como aire: ____ or carro:motor como llanta: ____); and

(D) use a dictionary, a glossary, or a thesaurus (printed or electronic) to determine the meanings, syllabication, spelling, alternate word choices, and parts of speech of words.
