![]() ![]() I have found that almost no one gets this far in the curriculum, especially since I have added lots of optional supplements and extensions for each unit over the last few years since I left the classroom. In the first year (Spanish 1A), I covered Units 1-20 and then finished out the year with a novel. ![]() I saw students for 45-50 minutes per day, five times per week. FAQ #2: How many units can I expect to get through in a year? Spanish 2: I looked at the Spanish 2 textbook that the various high school teachers in my district were using (since mine was the first Spanish 2 course offered at the middle school level in my district) and pulled out the grammar that I needed to ‘cover’ in order to be in alignment with them and get my course approved □ I then chose high frequency words that I could use to provide input for each pattern. ![]() I originally backward planned from El Nuevo Houdini. I ‘sequenced’ it based on importance and which words grouped well together for storytelling and cultural exploration. Spanish 1: I chose the novels that I wanted my students to read by the end of Spanish 1B (their second year of Spanish) and made a list of the vocabulary that they would need to read it. ![]() FAQ #1: How did you choose Core Vocabulary? For everything else, try asking in the SOMOS Curriculum Collaboration group on Facebook to get a timely answer. Whether you are planning to use the SOMOS 1 or 2 Spanish curriculum for the first time this fall or have been working with it for several years already, I hope that this post will answer most of the ‘big’ questions that you have as you are planning for the upcoming school year. ![]()
