1 AP Spanish Summer Assignment

Skyline High School Summer 2015

¡Felicitaciones! It is commendable that you have chosen to continue your study of Spanish through the AP level. As you know, the purpose of this course is to have you ready to excel on the AP Spanish Language Exam that will be administered in May of 2016. The AP Spanish Language Exam is designed to test your skills in order to see how well they meet the skill levels that one would expect to find in a third year college class. The exam will test all of the major language skills: reading comprehension, writing skills, speaking ability, and listening comprehension, in addition to thematic cultural knowledge of the Hispanic world. New to the exam next year include the themes of global challenges, science and technology, contemporary life, personal and public identities, families and communities, and beauty and aesthetics. You will build a binder portfolio of these themes throughout the school year so you may want to start by collecting any prior work that you have from Spanish 4AC that fits into the categories. This will be your ultimate exam study guide and showcase of all of your hard work in Spanish! There are still grammar concepts we will study during the school year that will be new to you. For these reasons, you need to use the summer to solidify what you already know. Since the exam focuses on all major language skills, it is also important for you to continue building your proficiency in all areas. Remember, learning a language is like learning to play a sport or how to play an instrument—you have to practice all the skills if you want to play well. Building skills only occurs through practice. Ideally, you would have had this assignment prior to leaving for the summer; as a result of receiving it later, I am assigning the most basic review to keep you practicing. Your assignment is completely feasible and can be tailored to your own interests. Also keep in mind that the topics you choose will be used in your first 5AP group project so pick things that you can work with in a presentation! NB: ALL SUMMER WORK needs to be uploaded to your Spanish website (that we created in 4AC ). I will email you instructions on how to update it to make sure your website is ready for 5AP! Please create a SEPARATE SUB-PAGE IN THE WEBSITE (where you have the 6 AP themes) called “Tarea de verano 2015”. This is the ONLY place I will look for and grade your summer work. Make sure everything you put on your website is “anyone with the link can view.” Do NOT share your work and fill up my GoogleDocs please or you will not get credit! Part I: Reading, Writing, Cultural Awareness and Current Events Over the duration of this course, you will become an expert on a country of your choosing. We would prefer that each person choose a different country, but this is hard to do not having the class lists for next year . Please pick a country other than the usual Mexico and Spain. Your country must be a Spanish- speaking country (not Portuguese or English). Near the beginning of the year, you will be required to present basic information about your country to the class and explain why you chose it. Summer responsibilities: Select your country then find six news articles in Spanish about your country, one per theme, which again include: global challenges, science and technology, contemporary life, personal and public identities, families and communities, and beauty and aesthetics. Your reports on each article will follow the same format; the forms are included at the end of this assignment (and also emailed to you). Please type this information and follow my format or you will not receive credit. Theme of the article: Title of article: Source of article: Original publication date of article: (For now, please limit yourself to 2014-2015) Summary: Five to seven sentences explaining the basic information of the article, written in Spanish without copying directly from the article. Vocabulary: A list of five words from the article that are new to you. Define them in Spanish using words YOU understand. (Required) You may also include the English meaning if you wish. (Optional)

2 Where to find these articles? Google/Google en español your country name and the word “periódico;” CNN, MSNBC, BBC—major news outlets that also maintain Spanish language sites Hispanic news outlets like Univisión, Galavisión; Google “Spanish language newspapers” and find one from a major city (El Nuevo Herald, is a good one which is connected to the Miami Herald.) Remember: you are looking for news, not wikipedia-style info, not personal websites Your sources should be reputable. If in doubt, consult me. Part II: Listening Skills You will need to spend a minimum of 5 hours listening to authentic Spanish this summer, preferably in 30 minute increments. You may listen to the radio, CDs, streaming radio, podcasts or TV. You will keep a log of exactly what you listen to, when you were listening to it and for how many minutes. You will need to document 5 separate instances of listening activity. Please again list what theme each listening pertains to in the listening log. For each entry of your listening log, you will write a short reflection in Spanish indicating the content, difficulty of listening and your interest in that source. (Minimum of 3 sentences.) (In other words, one three-hour soccer match cannot count three hours towards your total. It can count for up to one hour.) I recommend you try and find at least 3 different themes to connect with your listening activities. Music cannot be the only resource you use for this activity. Please have a minimum of 2 different listening resources (such as the radio, Youtube, TV, etc). Suggestion: Find something that interests you—sports, a soap opera, and game shows. News on the radio or TV will be the hardest to understand, but also the most useful. If you can find a show that you enjoy watch it several times. If you like sports, watch sports. You must have a minimum of THREE different types of audios (this means, you cannot ONLY listen to soccer matches, for example). Give yourself time. It will take your ear a long time to adjust. You won’t understand everything, but you’re not supposed to. The goal is to understand enough to know what’s going on. Telenovelas or soap operas are great—because the same action/situation gets repeated over and over and over! Do this on a weekly basis. Do not do all 5 hours in one day or you will not receive full credit. PLEASE USE THE ELECTRONIC LISTENING LOG FORM I PROVIDED YOU IN EMAIL! Part III: Speaking Skills There is no specific assignment here, but it would be in your best interest to attempt to speak some Spanish with someone over the summer. Get into the community and meet people—at restaurants, churches, Latino markets. Get together with your AP language classmates every couple of weeks for dinner or coffee just to talk in Spanish. Keep a log of this (date, time, length, 3 sentence reflections on your topics) and your conversation topics for extra credit. Part IV: Reading/Writing How can I pass the AP Spanish exam? The AP exam is a very difficult exam. Many college students would not even pass the test. If you are considering taking the AP test before graduating, the single most important factor that helps students pass the exam is reading comprehensible material often and thoroughly. Due to the difficulty of the test you will also engage in a rigorous summer reading program. In order to have a high degree of success, you’ll need to read this summer. Typically, those students who have read during the summer have returned in September as more advanced readers. Students who have scored a 4 or 5 on the AP have stated that they read 2-3 novels during the summer. Turn in running vocabulary lists from each book in September. You may donate the book to my room library in September for an extra credit coupon. Questions? E-mail me: ficanos@aaps.k12.mi.us. Because you will be reading articles in Spanish, you are only required to read one book this summer. You are expected to keep a journal of your reading. This means you need to write a short summary of each chapter (5 sentence minimum per chapter) and keep a running vocabulary list in Spanish and English of new words you encounter.

3 The following list contains some suggested titles. It is best to read something you are interested in, so take great care in selecting your book. Most of these selections can be purchased online, but the Ann Arbor Public library has approximately 650 books available in Spanish.

I am open to a current book such as “Divergent” or “The Hunger Games” etc. in Spanish if you get it preapproved so I know the level is appropriate! Honor Code College students are required to abide by an honor code that forbids them from cheating, lying and stealing, both within the academic world and as members of the college community. We expect the same commitment to honor from you, as a member of a college-level course. What this means is that you are expected to complete all assignments on your own, without consul t ing nat ive -speakers or translat ion devi ces o f any kind. Your work should represent what you are capable of doing using as resources your mind, grammar books or notes and a dictionary. If you are not sure about how to utilize an original source without plagiarizing, please see your teacher and we can give you tips. We do not expect your production of Spanish to be without error at this level.

• Translation devices are prohibited at all times. • No one may EVER proof-read your work, suggest changes to your work or make changes to your

work unless we have specified these activities within the parameters of peer evaluation. • Anyone found in violation of these policies will be subjected to disciplinary action.

Check-list:

1) Decide on which country you would like to study for the summer.

2) Start investigating options for listening to spoken Spanish and keep a log with summaries.

3) Choose a book to read for the summer and keep a vocabulary list and chapter summaries in Spanish.

4) Purchase a good Spanish dictionary. The “pequeño Larousse” is a very good dictionary, but there are several other options available from amazon.com; Barnes and Noble; Borders, etc. I also strongly recommend an AP Spanish practice manual test prep book. Make sure it is for the 2016 test (that started last year), as this is a newer test and previous books are no longer applicable to the new test format.

5) Read and Sign the AP Spanish Language contract and bring it to La Sra. Ficano-Petricca in C 308 by June 10th or you could be dropped from the course!

Course Themes Designing the AP Spanish Language and Culture course around themes creates an interesting, meaningful context in which to explore a variety of language concepts. Themes help teachers integrate language, content, and culture into an interrelated series of lessons and activities that promote the use of the language in a variety of contexts. A theme may be used to plan a brief unit of study, a comprehensive unit spanning a greater period of time, or to connect with courses in other disciplines. The AP Spanish Language and Culture course is structured around six themes:

15
