Spanish IV: Grammar in context

2/27/2022

 
Students have been studying the impact of technology and science in the USA and in the Spanish-speaking world.  One of the tools for students to be able to communicate ideas about this futuristic thinking is the different kinds of future in Spanish. After a week of conjugating, answering questions and writing in the journal, it was time for students to practice the future in some real contexts such as the following: reading the horoscope from a Spanish newspaper, practicing with a fortune teller made of paper, and pretending to read the future with a ball as a professional fortune teller.  Students talked in Spanish throughout the class. Who said that it wasn’t possible to speak in Spanish for 1 full hour?

Amnesty International Update

2/18/2022

 
Picture
This week we discussed corporate accountability. There are few effective ways at the national and international level to stop and prevent corporate human rights abuses or to hold companies accountable for their actions. Amnesty is working to change this. Livelihoods are destroyed as the land is contaminated and water supplies are polluted such as Ogoniland, Nigeria → these issues directly affect the Indigenous people because their livelihoods are correlated to their land. Companies argue against any development of international law and standards that protect human rights. ​

Benefits of Learning Multiple Languages

By LOLHS Spanish Honors Society

National Spanish Honors Society has undertaken research regarding the diversity of the student population and language diversity within the school. The National Spanish Honors Society has found out that although Lyme-Old Lyme High School is not racially diverse, the school is incredibly ethnically diverse and especially diverse when it comes to language. Besides offering 4 different languages in person (including Spanish, French, Chinese, and Latin), LOLHS offers a multitude of different languages through Virtual High School (VHS). Language opportunities online include courses in Italian, German, Russian, etc. While one might initially brush off the benefit of learning a foreign language out of convenience, language improves cognitive capabilities as well as opening a wider world of opportunities for the beneficiary.

Great Cultural Experience for AP Spanish

2/13/2022

 
Last Tuesday, February 8th, AP Spanish students went to Niantic Cinema for a private viewing of Pedro Almodovar’s latest movie "Parallel Mothers".  The ride was short, and when we arrived the owner was waiting for us; he gave us a warm welcome. While I was paying for the tickets, the students were buying popcorn and other sweet things. So far it was no different to any experience in the USA, but when the lights went off, we were transported to Madrid.  The parallel life of two new mothers, the theme of Spanish Civil War, and all the elements of the Almodovar’s movies made all the other noises fade away after ten minutes.  They witnessed a modern movie that helped them understand how events in the past shape present culture.

Safe Futures is a humanitarian service located in Connecticut for the purpose of supporting all those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking. Safe Futures provides walk-in counseling, court services, and safety training information with confidential consultations. The facility also aids the children of families who have been affected.

Spanish NHS Bulletin Board Update:

2/6/2022

 
Picture
Submitted by Evan Clark
​This week, a group from the Spanish Honor Society decided to take a more in-depth look towards Latin American politics, so we could not only understand how the country and their government grappled with COVID-19, but also possible struggles within the government. Each country has a researched portion about their political leader, and how they have affected their own country. I believe that this group’s presentation is crucial because many if not all of the students at LOLHS may not have even known about any of these past allegations or problems within Latin American politics. From Bolivia, to Columbia, and Chile, all of these countries have and still have problems within their governments and countries, and our group hopes that our bulletin board may shed even a slight amount of light on political problems that affect Latin Americans.
