Description
Notes
This project-based elective course presents the basic structure and grammar of the Spanish language and encourages conversation with the introduction of basic vocabulary. They are infused with authentic language support, unities which will improve and enhance listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Cultural activities will expand student awareness of the customs and geography of Spanish-speaking countries. We're going to mix it up in this new student- centered Book Club. One book for all, or different books/one theme, or BYO - the choice will be yours. Share your ideas and opinions in a friendly, relaxed, respectful environment (the library, of course!). Our meetings will come to life with friends, sharing books, stories, activities, and YOU! Could you be the next Bradbury or O. Henry? Learn the techniques of great short story writers. You don't need to love science fiction or cliffhangers to grab a reader's interest. Once you learn the tricks of storytelling, individuals or groups will create their own short stories. The Innovation Challenge is a student-led project to improve where students enhance a current invention to better the world or themselves. Developing a prototype or model of upcycled materials, students will show how their Innovation will function in their creative new manner. Robotics is a great way to get students interested in STEM and 21st-century career
