Our own school is only about 140 students, and only 25 of them are in Spanish I. Most of the class is 9th graders, though we have a few sophomores and juniors. Helping others is a major motivator in our class and brings meaning to language learning. Learning Spanish has a purpose when we have friends we want to understand us and whom we want to understand. We learned about school vocabulary from our friends' request list, and now we are going to learn how to introduce ourselves, but not just to pass a test--to meet people almost a world away from us! The Colombian students live in conditions we could only imagine, and vice versa. Video would make our shared experiences LIVE! Our school's focus is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but we are more than that: we are global citizens. Project-based learning is what we do, so in all classes we are constantly working towards goals we can apply to our lives and the world around us.
