Spanish 4/Honors Spanish 4

2 Semesters / 1 Credit
Requirement: Successful completion of both semesters of Spanish 3

Spanish 4 is designed as a continuation of the concepts learned in Spanish 1 through 3. Students will apply their skills and knowledge on a daily basis through conversation and reading and writing using the past, present, and future tenses. There will also be a continued focus on the subjunctive mood. Exposure to culture and language will take the form of real-life situations through community service, cinema, and literature. Themes will rotate on a two-year schedule and will include history, politics, relationships, and entertainment. Students who successfully complete Spanish 4 can expect to move from the Intermediate-Low to the Intermediate-High level on the ACTFL proficiency scale with regards to the following themes: Families and Communities, Science and Technology, Contemporary Life, and Beauty and Aesthetics.

Students will also have opportunities throughout both semesters to earn Honors Qualifying Points (HQPs) by completing additional requirements as determined by the team of World Languages teachers. HQPs on exams will be required both semesters to earn honors credit. Please refer to the Grading Policy section of this document for policy information regarding honors credit.
