1.0 credit/Honors weight

Prerequisites: B+ or better in Honors Spanish II or A+ in Spanish II with teacher recommendation to move up.

The third level of Spanish includes a refinement of the basic skills learned in the first two years. Maximum use of the target language and participation in oral proficiency exercises help the students to internalize the vocabulary and grammar studied so far. Writing proficiency is encouraged through formal writing assignments. Readings at this level are longer and deal specifically with the historical, artistic, and cultural development of the Spanish-speaking world. Honors Spanish 3 is an elective course for students who have completed Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. This course is taught at an accelerated pace with increased expectations for student performance.
