Students will be asked to: write compostions, read stories, write and perform dialogues, speak every day in class in the target language, take a test about every day, and interact as much as possible in Spanish only. Every grade counts the same so if you are weak in one area but strong in another you will have the opportunity to :show what you have learned”.
