Focus of the Story |
We all make daily choices that affect our well-being. To begin level II, we build on our language skills acquired in level I by identifying and discussing our basic needs and how we support the health of our bodies and minds. We reflect on our habits, making comparisons with our peers and the common habits of other cultures. |
Next, we explore what home means to different individuals and in different cultures. We describe life at home and how homes are similar and different in parts of the world where the target language is spoken. We investigate what it means to be part of a household while building our vocabulary and learning more complex language structures. |
In the next unit, we explore places around town. We learn how to shop for clothes, dine in restaurants, and make plans with our friends to attend events. Engaging with others is an integral part of life across the world, and we learn how people socialize and have fun in places where the target language is spoken. |
In our final unit we share travel experiences in our country and around the world. We make travel plans, and communicate our basic needs when away from home. This unit is the culmination of two levels of study and we are beginning to be able to function independently and confidently in the target language and culture we are studying. |
