Grade 8 Spanish

The capstone quarter, where the student is turned loose on the real thing: the Manila galleons and Velázquez's Surrender of Breda tell the strong past tenses, a tortilla española is cooked by Spanish commands, a real letter goes into the mail, the first page of Don Quixote is read exactly as Cervantes wrote it in 1605, and Psalm 23 is recited in the Reina-Valera at a family velada that crowns six years of Spanish.
