3 Trimesters
Grades 12
Prerequisite: Spanish III (with at least a C- average)

Students will reinforce their knowledge of Spanish through authentic readings, videos, web sites, texts, direct instruction, TPRS, cultural projects and music. We will review structures and tenses from Spanish I, II and III with an emphasis of using the Spanish language for personal expression. In this advanced course, a solid command of the Spanish language is required. Students will continue to expand speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through authentic language practice. Spanish IV is conducted almost exclusively in Spanish and is a rewarding, yet challenging course. Students in Spanish IV may choose to take the course for credit through UW-BC. If they get an A or B for the first and second trimester (Spanish 203) they will receive 2 college credits plus 8 retroactive credits (for Spanish 101 and 103). If they get an A or B third trimester (Spanish 204), they will receive an additional 2 credits.
