Welcome to Spanish 7!

I am thrilled to be your teacher for Spanish 7! I will give you all of the tools necessary so that you will be successful in my class. My Spanish 7 blog is a resource for you to find homework assignments, links to websites, notes, and class presentations. Please check the blog frequently to ensure you're ready and prepared for each class.

We will cover many exciting topics this year, including: Spanish culture, countries, language and literature. We will use Avancemos as our primary textbook as well as, many supplementary materials: online resources, Realidades textbook series, PowerPoint presentations, video and audio excerpts, guest speakers, and interactive games.

I will hold tutorials for Spanish 7 on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:35 - 4:00. You may be required to attend a tutorial if you are missing an assignment or if you score lower than 75% on any test.
