Students of Spanish III will graduate the course able to speak Spanish fluently. They will gain much experience in using already-acquired grammatical and cultural knowledge gleaned from Spanish I and II, and there will be a strong focus on the use of spoken language. Another emphasis will be on developing an understanding of and familiarity with Spanish literature. We will use excerpts from Cervantes, Unamuno, Borges, and other masters of Spanish literature and poetry. Beyond the continual practice of daily usage, students will learn the few remaining verb tenses that they lack and master the three moods in Spanish. Additionally, much emphasis will be given to regional culture and immersion into the living tapestries that are the Hispanic and Latino worlds. Prerequisites: Spanish I, II, and teacher approval.
