1. We have covered many topics in Spanish 3 this quarter and have learned a lot
about the language and the culture. Starting with Topic 5, we discussed different art
forms using vocabulary and exploring the Hispanic culture. During this topic, we also
reviewed all of the verb tenses and their conjugations that we had previously learned
during the year. Our big project that we created during this topic was a timeline of a
famous Hispanic artist as well as our own representation of one of their works of art. My
partner and I chose the painter Salvador Dalí and learned a lot about his life, his
artwork, and his Spanish background. Individually, we both chose one of his most
famous paintings called “The Persistence of Time” and made our own version of it.
Studying the arts in Spanish gave the entire a class a better understanding of the
vocabulary and Hispanic culture. In Topic 6, we discussed things found in the city
including parts of a car and the cardinal directions. During this topic we focused mostly
on commands using different forms. For our main project, each person in the class
individually planned a trip around a city. We had to use different directions and
commands to express where exactly we were going. In Topic 7, we discussed the
aspects of trips or vacations. We began this topic with an oral class interview about
where they were going on vacation and some details about it. We then compiled
everyones data and summarized the results. This is the first topic where we started
using the future tense of verbs which is very important and widely used. We also

challenge. My favorite part of the semester was working with future tense because I
found it to be very easy and I was surprised to know that it is actually used a lot! The
other tenses were a challenge though that I’m still having problems with today. I could
definitely improve on my spelling and pronunciation when writing and speaking in
Spanish. Next year I am enrolled in Spanish 4 and I’m excited to take it because I love
learning a new language and I think it will be very useful in my future life.
