Fenway offers its students two years of Spanish, Spanish I and Spanish II.  An advanced Spanish for native Spanish speakers is also offered.  

Curriculum

Spanish classes are semester long courses.  In Spanish I students develop reading, writing, speaking and listening skills within an authentic cultural context.  The class involves activities such as creative projects, oral skits, games and role-play, and written journals.  Spanish II builds on the basic skills acquired in Spanish and provides a deeper exploration of expressions, grammar, vocabulary and communication.  Spanish II is conducted in entirely in Spanish. 

Assessment

As in other subjects, Spanish utilizes a variety of assessment tools such as exhibitions, portfolios, quizzes and rubrics.  Oral presentations and dialogue play a large role in assessing students in Spanish.
