AP Spanish Discusses Social Media

Mrs. Aycock’s AP Spanish class is focusing on the AP theme Familias y Communidades (families and communities) with an emphasis this week on the role and consequences of social media, as well as the Internet in general. Students discuss the pros and cons of Facebook after reading Facebook: el monstruo de las dos cabezas (Facebook: the two-headed monster), an article that ran in the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo.  Class discussions challenge the students to explain their opinions in Spanish while giving them the opportunity to listen to and challenge the opinions of their peers over current events and issues they find relevant.

 

Lessons like these happen every week in Mrs. Aycock’s AP Spanish class, improving our students’ comprehension and communication abilities.
