Last summer I set out to redesign my Spanish III curriculum, to make it more unit/theme based. I got the idea started and made some changes for the first semester but then the craziness of 4 1/2 preps and life got the better of me.
This summer I set out to redesign levels II and III. I still have a ways to go on creating better units but I did reorder when to teach concepts, vocabulary and grammar. However, that meant I would be teaching some things at a completely different time of year than ever before. Would everything still fit?
So I sat down with calendars for each level and sketched out when and how long to teach the concepts. Spanish III fit just right with a few days of wiggle room before feeling crunched (and living in Ohio, I know those days will come in handy).
Spanish II on the other hand has me worried. Why? Because I penciled in everything and still came up with nearly a month of school to fill! Seriously, what major concept am I forgetting? I even brought back one topic that got left out last year and pulled another small vocabulary topic down from Spanish III. I guess the good part is that I have plenty of time to teach that concept!
