How does Spanish 3H differ from Spanish 3 Regents?

• The students must have a certain average in
  Spanish 2 and be recommended by their teacher to
  go on to Spanish 3 Honors.

• The first semester of 3H is when the entire
  Regents Curriculum is taught.
• The second semester we start reading Literature
  and working on the AP format that these students
  will need to get used to for when they take the
  Spanish AP Exam in May of their 12th grade year.
