Course Description:CAPP Spanish 248 is a combination of two UW–Oshkosh classes at the 200 level. Our focus will be an intensive grammar review, discussion of a comprehensive selection of literature written by native Spanish speakers, and an analysis of a variety of cultural themes. Students will improve their listening comprehension while listening to native discourse from films and lab work. The course is also dedicated to the improvement of vocabulary, written reaction, and oral communication.
Due to the design of this course, _______________ students must have access to the Internet and must have an e-mail account. While the school does have access to the Internet, it may or may not allow students to access e-mail at school.
Please note that a portion of extension activities are required for this course: Students will be asked to complete computer activities online and to complete 3 activities that utilize Spanish “outside of the classroom environment.”
*Important note: Because every university has different requirements, course titles, and expectations, it is up to the student, not the teacher, to contact his/her university and find out if, and how many credits will be accepted. A letter that you may send to the university is included in this packet.
The Course Calendar & Daily Assignments You will receive a course calendar which contains dates outlining sections of the text that will be our focus. This guide may be revised as necessary.
Assignments:You will receive a list of assignments which will be completed online. It is imperative that the assignment be done prior to the due date. Computer-based assignments will not be processed late due to program restrictions. Students, who find that they are having computer malfunctions, can catch up on work in the high school labs before or after school hours. Please e-mail Ms. _____________ with any concerns immediately as they arise.
1
Lesson Theme & Vocabulary: (At home) Get to know each new chapter, its theme, and
vocabulary. Scan the table of contents of your text. Flip through the pages of the lesson as you would a magazine. What appeals to you? What comes to mind?
Brainstorm! What do you already know about the theme?
Improve your pronunciation of the vocabulary by listening and repeating the words you hear online. Use the lab materials to develop your listening skills. Always take the pronunciation section at home seriously DO NOT SKIP THIS VERY IMPORTANT STEP!
Complete the vocabulary practices online (“Para Empezar”) PRIOR to using the vocabulary in class when sessions begin. By the time you come to class you should be well informed and ready to practice using the vocabulary in context. The online pronunciation practices and activities are designed to familiarize you with the new vocabulary. To what extent should you be “familiar”? During these first few days, pretend that you are preparing for quiz 1 in the Realidades textbook series. That is to say, you should be able to recognize and use the vocabulary in context but may still need to access the list for perfect spelling. When we meet as a group on the first day of any chapter, effective communication and discussion will stem from the use of this new vocabulary.
Textbook Activities: (In class, as homework) “Práctica” exercises may be done orally in class, as a pair, or as a group. They may also
be assigned as written homework. Speaking exclusively in Spanish is an expectation of this course. Keep this in mind for
all pair work and group activities. Use your Spanish creatively! Socializing in English will result in grade reduction.
Time limits may be given before you begin communication activities and may occasionally be extended.
Whenever working with a partner or in small groups the teacher may ask you to report your findings to the class. Listen attentively and always jot down notes to help you to relay any information attained.
Each new chapter, we will rotate seats and change partners to ensure a greater variety of communicative exchanges.
Cortometraje: Award-winning, Short-Feature Films Always review new vocabulary specific to the film being shown. Discuss with your group important themes or issues that may arise. Have you seen a
recent film from that same genre? Look at the poster, still shots, and text to stimulate predictions. Be sure to read the “Nota Cultural” sidebar to aid you in making appropriate connections.

Please remember the KHSD community values regarding respect, honesty, responsibility and kindness. The following can warrant an automatic F in this course:
1. The use of any Spanish translating devices for ANY portion of this course.
2. The use of another student’s work as your own. This includes online work.
3. Taking credit for an
Be prepared to do an analysis or the following extensions: compare the plot, characters, and endings to your predictions, create a film review, or develop a sequel or produce an alternate ending.
Grammar: Grammar explanations will be given in Spanish unless a request is made for clarification
reasons. Grammar may be assigned as homework, allowing us to devote class time to the
“Practica” and “Comunicación” activities which require partners and oral communication.
Grammar will be introduced in context, using short narrations, guided discussions, brief readings, or realia. Students will be asked to share what they already know about each grammar point in Spanish.
There are various tools that will aid in your understanding of grammar concepts.
1) Structured practices in the textbook for written practice and communication (done in class)
2) Readings which fuse the grammar concept in context3) Web-SAM (Practices in your Student Workbook/Lab
Manual)
4) Online practices on the Supersite, Go to VHLCentral: http://vhlcentral.com Be sure to write down your access code.
When having difficulty with any grammar point, it is important that you print that particular assignment and bring it to class to consult with Ms. _____________.
Cultural & Literary Readings: Use the title, pictures, captions, headings, or other clues to help you figure out the
main topic before you read. Scan any questions that follow the reading before reading. Know what it is you are
looking for and why you are reading. Read through a passage once quickly to try to get the overall “gist” of the text, then
go back to try to figure out confusing passages or unfamiliar words. Force yourself to read without trying to translate every word. Whenever possible, try
to figure out the meaning of the word from its context. If you can’t determine the meaning, then at least figure out some information about the word – is it a noun? Is it masculine or feminine?
Don’t use online translators when reading. Typing a passage into an online translator and hitting “send” doesn’t accomplish the goal of comprehension assignments, and it doesn’t guarantee an accurate translation. There are subtleties
3
of the language that word-by-word electronic or dictionary translation simply can’t capture.

Summarize what you have read and be prepared to present it to your class.
5) Summarize the main events of a Spanish newscast, telenovela, or sitcom / Univision or Telemundo. Keep notes by writing a summary sentence of each 5 minutes that pass (if you don’t have cable, Mr. Heitpas in the LMC may be kind enough to record an hour or two for you if you give him a tape and plenty of warning – give him specifics on the time, date, and channel.
6) Summarize the happenings of an event where Spanish is the primary language spoken: a dance, a ceremony, celebration, etc. Bring pictures to show the class.
7) Summarize for your class, a play you attended based on a Hispanic theme (bring a program to your teacher – be prepared to answer historical questions, read up on the topic if necessary.)
8
8) Summarize for your class, a video that you rented which is in Spanish (English subtitles are permitted but Spanish subtitles are preferred) Complete the sheet. “Reseña para una película” or video guide provided by your teacher. No film can be duplicated by students.

While many students are of legal age to watch rated- R films, these films may not be considered suitable for your family. Please consider your family values when choosing films. Some foreign films are “not rated” and may contain questionable subject matter. Please ask Ms. _____________ for ideas if you are concerned with subject matter.
9) Visit a Spanish chat-room or Skype and generate a discussion with the people there. Remember to “keep it appropriate” and do not give your personal information. Print out your conversation and write down interesting phrases or information you find out.

En el planeta Tierra, la vida humana depende del buen funcionamiento de la naturaleza.La destrucción de los recursos naturales nos afecta a todos los humanos por igual, independiente de nuestra situación geográfica, económica, política o social.Las personas se adaptan, modifican e impactan el medio ambiente. La geografía, el clima, y los recursos naturales afectan la manera en que las personas viven y trabajan. La necesidad de recursos y los mercados que los venden promueven la expansión y pueden iniciar conflicto. La distribución desigual de los recursos ha resultado en la cooperación (comercio mundial) y también el conflicto mundial. Existe una relación entre posesión y el negocio de los recursos naturales.
¿Cómo afecta el medio ambiente estas dos cosas: las perspectivas de un grupo, y su uso de recursos naturales? ¿Se puede decir que está en peligro de extinción la especie humana?¿Cómo influyen la herencia de grupos y las personas anteriores a las generaciones subsecuentes?¿Qué afecta tienen estas cosas en la manera en que respetamos la tierra y usamos los recursos naturales?( la geografía, la economía, la política, la situación social)¿Cuáles son algunas maneras en que la gente se adapta, modifica, e impacta el medio ambiente? ¿Qué afecta tienen estas cosas en la manera en que trabajamos y vivimos?

Paradójicamente, las épocas más difíciles de la historia, como las guerras y las dictaduras muestran lo peor de los seres humanos, pero también lo mejor.Las creencias y los ideales de una sociedad influyen en las decisiones sociales, políticas y económicas de esta sociedad. Es el deber del gobierno responder a cambios sociales y económicos de una sociedad. Individuos e instituciones son afectados por las acciones del gobierno. Los valores y creencias de una cultura afectan las relaciones entre individuos, grupos, instituciones, y estados políticos.Los cambios políticos y sociales y el desarrollo económico del momento pueden causar una transformación en los valores fundamentales de una sociedad.
¿Cómo y por qué cambian las creencias?¿Cómo cambia la cultura para acomodar las ideas y las creencias diferentes?¿Cuáles son las funciones y responsabilidades de los ciudadanos?¿Puede una persona hacer una diferencia sola?¿Cómo pueden influir la política del gobierno los ciudadanos? (individualmente y colectivamente) ¿Qué es poder? ¿Cómo se adquiere, se usa, y se justifica? ¿Cómo son creados, estructurados, mantenidos y cambiados los gobiernos?¿Cuándo debería una sociedad controlar a sus individuos?
