Español III '09-'10
Welcome to Spanish III. During this year, we will be studying chapters 1-14 in the text //Buen Viaje II.// Vocabulary is very important in learning a foreign language; thus, it is imperative that you study your new vocabulary each night for at least 20 minutes. All of the vocabulary we'll be studying this year is listed below in PDF format that you can download. New grammatical concepts will be presented along with previous and new verb tenses.

present (review) - I do something present progressive (review) - I am doing something imperfect progressive (review) - I was doing something preterite (review) - I did something imperfect (review) - I used to do / was doing something future (review) - I will do something conditional (review) - I would do something present perfect - I have done something pluperfect - I had done something future perfect - I will have done something conditional perfect - I would have done something affirmative command - Do something negative command - Don't do something present subjunctive - I want you to do something present perfect subjunctive - I'm glad you did something / I'm glad you have done something imperfect subjunctive - I wanted you to do something/If you did something (contrary-to-fact situation in the present) pluperfect subjunctive - It was good you had done something/If you had done something (contrary-to-fact situation in the past)

Literature: This year we will be reading //El Cantar de Mío Cid,// and //Don Quijote// in an abbreviated form.

Grades will be based on tests, quizzes, mini-projects, and homework. Most will be announced, but occasionally a "pop" quiz might find its way into class. However, if you listen closely, you'll know when these will be "popping" into class. Thus, they really won't be a surprise.
