Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

• How do we use the Spanish language in transactional and informal settings in our communities and in the globalized world?
• How do we participate in language use opportunities outside the classroom?
• How do we set goals while reflecting on progress related to language use?
• How is language used for all three purposes: enjoyment, enrichment and advancement?
Unit Summary:
Are you ready to apply what we have learned so far in class to the real world? Are you ready to take charge of your education? So far we have
learned how to ask questions in Spanish on subjects such as family, school and culture. We have also been working on listening skills to
understand native speakers. In this unit you will get to go out there and do what the goal of this class is - speak! You will work towards
perfecting your skills of professionally addressing someone in Spanish as well as communicating by asking applicable questions and listening
and understanding their responses. You will also learn about the different purposes and advantages of learning and speaking another
language as well as create achievable goals for your journey of bilingualism!
