Grade 8 Spanish First
Language students are afforded the opportunity to build on the work done in
Grade 7 in literacy skills in this language. They study non-fiction and fiction
prose, drama, media texts and poetry. They begin to build their ability to read
critically and question perspectives, voices and bias in texts. They also begin to consider the importance of
context on the production of both literary and non-literary texts (such as
adverts and writing in the media). Students will focus on key literacy skills
such as inferring and deducing, using structures and vocabulary to achieve
effects, and critical reading.
