Jacob Sexton 2016-2017 Course Description: The AP Spanish Language and Culture class is a rigorous course taught almost exclusively in Spanish that requires students to improve their proficiency across the three modes of communication (interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational). The College Board considers the curriculum to be equivalent to that of a fourth-fifth semester university Spanish course. The program focuses on the integration of authentic resources including online print, audio, and audiovisual resources, as well as traditional print resources that include literature, essays, and magazine and newspaper articles with the goal of providing a rich, diverse learning experience. Organization: The course is divided into thematic units that the College Board determined, and corresponding cultural elements are integrated into them. Discussion of topics in Spanish is an absolute requirement in this course. The thematic units include: Las familias y las comunidades, La ciencia y la tecnología, La belleza y la estética, La vida contemporánea, los desafíos mundiales y Las identidades personales y públicas (Families and Communities, Science and Technology, Beauty and Aesthetics, Contemporary Life, Global Challenges, Personal and Public Identities). Online Classroom & Supersite: I will be using Google Classroom to post homework. The code is___________. Many of those assignments will be on the Supersite that goes with the Temas textbook, and while the Supersite automatically scores all work, I have to transfer points to Progressbook. The supersite does not have our school grading scale, so the grades you see there are not your grades in the class; only Progressbook will reflect your actual grade. In order to get credit for homework on Supersite, students have to score at least an 85% on any given assignment, and they only have three chances before getting closed out. I am able to see exactly how much time everyone spends on any given assignment, so students will not be able to “wing it.” Primary Texts and ancillary materials: Temas (Vista Higher Education) Ap Spanish: language and Culture Exam Preparation
Discussion – students will lead a discussion for small groups of students one time during the school year.
