SPANISH 4 HONORS
Instructor: Steverman, S.

Students who have a strong interest and solid understanding of the content and structures of the prior level are strongly encouraged to enroll in this course. Spanish IV Honors focuses on the more sophisticated grammatical structures of the language as well as structural stumbling blocks commonly encountered by students of Spanish. This is an advanced course which serves to refine both oral and written communication skills with current and relevant vocabulary presented within the context of Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. Class is conducted in the target language. Topics pertaining to the history of the Spanish-speaking world, immigration, social issues, social media and the environment will be discussed. Authentic literary readings from Spain and Latin America are discussed and analyzed. Technology is integrated to enhance student learning. Curriculum is aligned to the ACTFL Refreshed Standards for Language Learning. As this course has pre-AP elements, students who successfully complete this course are encouraged to continue with Spanish V AP next year.

Parent Teacher Conferences Monday Dec. 22nd

Dear Parent/Guardian: Westerly High School and WesterlyMiddle School will host Parent-Teacher Conferences on Monday, December 22, 2014 from 7:30 -11:00 a.m., 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Students will not have school on this day as it is the first day of the winter recess, but are welcome and encouraged to attend with you. The purpose of the conferences is to serve as an opportunity to understand more about your child as a learner, to understand what a letter grade cannot adequately communicate. It is a chance to learn from each teacher’s observations and thus gain insightful information as to how you can target your support at home. Your child’s world languages teacher has a sign-up sheet available for you to schedule a 10 minute appointment with her ahead of time. We hope that you are able to coordinate this with your child’s scheduled team conference time. We ask that you be on time for each appointment to maximize your session and honor the time scheduled for others. We hope this conference format is convenient for you; however, should you need assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher at your earliest convenience. As a reminder, please note that the world languages dept. members can be contacted via school email or by calling the school and leaving a message with the main office…
