Projects/activities;

Every activity and assignment has been designed to address as many of the foreign language standards as possible - reading, writing, speaking and listening. Each project/activity is designed to provide an opportunity to learn and practice as many skills related to careers as possible. This learning experience begins with the student interpreting the assignment goal and theme, a plan, the execution of the plan and a final project to be presented for evaluation. Planning, which includes pacing of a project, and organization are strongly emphasized.

Career counseling

Spanish IV for the Workplace will be working in collaboration with Karen Buchanan of the Career Counseling Center of CGHS to set each student up with a mentor.
