In this class, Dwane will finish the last chapters of The Magic Key to Spanish by Margarita Madrigal before reading a fiction book with the students in Spanish. He will announce the title in a few weeks, but it will be something classic like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We will meet for a total of 31 weeks. Students will read the chapters, and then will come to class to discuss what they have read.  We will practice speaking Spanish in class.  There will be opportunities for questions and discussion.  Multiple choice tests and test keys are included for every chapter on Dwane’s site, where grades will be posted.
