Writing
Writing moves toward the production
of more complex texts.
In Levels 1 and 2, writing is practiced at several points throughout
the unit:
In the
Comunicación
and
Todo junto
pages within the framework of
the Desafíos.
In the project.
Students are faced with increasingly more complex texts, which range
from writing simple lists (such as a shopping list), to more elaborate
texts, such as a diary entry, a script, or a travelogue.
In Levels 3 and 4, there is an additional composition included
and the students are required to create somewhat more complex
compositions: a character sketch, an essay, a short story, a report,
an opinion article, etc.
Through these activities, students have the opportunity to express
their ideas and become accustomed to formal and creative writing
in Spanish.
