Essential Questions:

How do I talk about activities I enjoy doing?

How do I ask about and discuss activities others do?

When and where do I engage in activities I enjoy?

What are common activities people in Hispanic countries do?

How do those activities compare to those in the United States?

 

Big Idea of Unit:

As we progress along the continuum of Spanish proficiency, you will continue to increase and demonstrate your ability to understand and express yourself in Spanish.  In this unit, advance your proficiency in regard to focusing on activities you and others really enjoy doing and/or are your passion.  The world of sports in Hispanic countries will be the main method of presentation but you will easily be able to roll it over to activities/platforms that really interest you.

 

Specific Assessment Evidence:

Students will demonstrate their degree of proficiency via listening, reading, written and oral activities in both formative and summative platforms.
