  3. SPN 2 Class Description • This class is a continuation of SPN 1. It is taught at a quicker pace and works with more difficult grammar structures. • Students who earn a D- or better will earn credit towards the two-year foreign language requirement. • Successful students (C or better) will have the opportunity to move on to SPN 3 H & SPN 4 H upon teacher recommendation.

  4. Grades & Assessments • Participation (15%) • Homework & practice work (10%) • Tests (25%) • Quizzes (15%) • Projects & presentations (15%) • Midterm / Final Exam (20%)

  5. ¡No íngles! • Participation grades will be determined by your regular active participation in Spanish (avoidance of English). • Be considerate of your classmates – listen when they are talking and be prepared to work in pairs. • STAY ON TASK; AT NO TIME IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO BEGIN CHATTING IN ENGLISH.

  6. ¿Entregar la tarea tarde? • Late assignments deducted 50%. • Late work will be accepted up until the day of the chapter test. • Projects and presentations will NOT be accepted late. • Absent on day of test/quiz???? You will have one week to make up the assessment. Make-ups should be scheduled before or after school with teacher.

  7. ¿Ausente? • Be here. It’s hard to keep up in Spanish if you miss a lot of days. • If you are absent, follow these steps: • Get notes from an “amigo”. • Check the class calendar on website for assignments and calentamiento. • Check in hand-out folder to see if you missed any hand-outs. • Talk to me about any tests/quizzes/assignments you need to turn in or make-up.

  8. Crédito adicional • Hall / Bathroom passes. 5 each semester. • Unused passes turned in for 5 additional pts. each. • Extra-curricular / cultural opportunities. • Assignments as posted throughout the year.

  9. Deshonestidad académica • It’s ok to work with people but answers need to be your own. • Don’t give your answers away – both people will receive a 0. • NO TRANSLATORS – use a dictionary so you aren’t tempted. There are many in the classroom. • Read/sign the translator sheet.

  10. ipads • Bring them! Points will be taken away for those who do not come prepared with their ipad. • Use them only for Spanish & classroom purposes. • Make sure they are in their cases and on your desk when we are not using them.

  11. ¿Cómo? • You’ll be hearing a lot of Spanish this year. • You are NOT expected to understand every word or even a majority of the words. • You’re simply becoming used to the sounds of the language. That’s how you started learning English (or other native language).

  12. But we did this yesterday! • In a foreign language class, there is much repetition. • Every day we’ll be reviewing some things as well as adding new material. • Everyone learns at a different pace. If you’ve already mastered something we are reviewing, go along with it anyway. In a few minutes we’ll get to something harder.

  13. ¿Podemos...? • Students often have good suggestions. Tell me about them after class. • Be as specific as possible. If you volunteer to help with the idea, that’s even better.

  14. You will need: • 3-ringed binder (1 big one or two small ones) • Notebook (specifically for Spanish) • Folder with pocket (specifically for Spanish) • Due Friday, September 5th for grade.
