The above is a general outline of what is accomplished in the Spanish I class. It is possible that we will complete more chapters listed above however. The students also do projects, study holidays, create crafts, make recipes, and participate in many other activities that may occur throughout the year. The cultural points are too numerous to mention but some examples in this level relate to art, cities and towns, daily life, environment, economy, education, food, geography, history and politics, holidays and celebrations, language, literature, monuments and museums, music and dance, and parks and palaces.
