My students will probably not even notice the grammar, and they can either ignore the (leess critical) vocab they don’t know, or we can define it, e.g., paulatinamente = poco a poco. I believe it accessible for 2nd-year HS.

They have working knowledge of using SOME verbs in preterite and a few in imperfect. Love the concept! Thanks for sharing, I could use this in my College class which is a high level mixed Span 2, 3 and Native Speakers class.

I may also use the Spanish trailer for ‘Los juegos del hambre’. The actual final will consist of an oral interview based on (but not limited to) the story. That will give me reading and speaking scores. Then I will have them write about the theme of apocalypse.

I really wanted to do oral exams but might not have enough time. Any ideas for written exams? Thanks! Heidi
