Course Description Spanish III examines higher level topics and linguistic structures, with a heavy emphasis on cultural and societal issues. The big idea grammatically is mastering the subjunctive mood—present, past, and present and past perfect subjunctive. It also reviews the tenses from Spanish I and II, and introduces irregular preterite verbs and the conditional perfect. There is more focus on Latin American art, music, archeology, legends, history, and environmental challenges specific to Latin America. Skills are developed through higher level readings and similar activities as Spanish I and II, and the exams pull heavily from the “lecturas” and stories. The chapter exams are multiple choice; the midterm and final exams are comprehensive, short answer, and in depth on the chapter readings and topics.

Course Learning Objectives Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Understand different cultures Create commands Differentiate when to use the imperfect tense versus the preterite Conjugate in the present and past perfect tenses Use possessive adjectives Correctly use the conditional versus the subjunctive tense Use Relative Pronouns Master the subjunctive Use The Passive Voice
