UNIT GOAL
What will my students know and be able to do after this unit that they could not
do before?
Why does this matter to my students?

Students will review main concepts and prior knowledge from Spanish I and use
this foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing to learn Spanish II
content. They will be able to interview and respond to questions from a fellow
classmate relating to personal and biographical information and will include
physical descriptions, personality characteristics, origin, and interests in their
responses. Students will also be able to describe physical and personality
characteristics of others, such as literary characters and contemporary
personalities. Students will average 80% mastery of these learning goals through
LSRW on the Unit 1 Assessment.
