Introduction to MYP2 Spanish

In the first term all students will be in Emergent level (phase 1 or 2).

You'll start with basic vocabulary and phrases and we will build up from here.

Interactive activities: Games, role-plays, and projects will be part of learning.

Cultural understanding: We will explore Spanish-speaking countries and traditions.

Assessments in MYP2

In class we will work with the 4 skills, which we group as follows:

Criteria A: based on listenning skills.

Criteria B: based on reading skills.

Criteria C: based on orals skills.

Criteria D: based on writing skills.

More on assessments

Assessments will include quizzes, presentations, and projects and of course regular assessments.                                                                                                              Every term you will:

- Do formative tasks for each criterion (A, B, C and D).

- Receive feedback for your formatives tasks and reflect on this feedback.

- Be assessed (at least) once per criterion (A, B, C and D).

- Develop ATL skills that will help your performance in class and in real life.
