Italian II Honors
Grade 10
Prerequisite: Successful Completion of Italian I Honors
This course proceeds in an orderly continuation of Italian I Honors, emphasizing the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in the context of everyday school and home life topics. Speaking skills are augmented through high-frequency vocabulary and idiom building. Common grammatical structures continue to be introduced permitting the student to speak and read on progressively higher levels. Further study of life and customs of Italian people is achieved through oral and written reports. In addition to covering all the activities and content of Italian II, an emphasis is placed on more complex reading and some guided composition. Use of the Italian language in class is predominant. Higher proficiency and performance are expected of students in this program.
