  2. Spanish I • Expectations: Language learning is a process that requires much practice and A LOT OF MEMORIZATION • Study some each night…seriously • Make flashcards and quiz your student if possible • Come to class prepared (binder, book, paper, pen, positive attitude) • Practice speaking outside of class (sorry the songs are annoying, but they help) • Check my website for upcoming events/homework • Spanish I is for high school credit AND factors into high school GPA! - Saying that, this class will require more work than what your student may be used to. Even the pace of our course moves more quickly so reviewing notes, vocabulary, verbs is VITAL throughout the year!

  3. Study Tips/ Things you should know • I quiz 1-2 times a WEEK • Students ALWAYS have homework in my course • Depending on how well students memorize things, I would spend 30 minutes a night studying vocabulary/verbs • Homework when checked for completion is graded on a 0-4 basis. • 4= completed/tried it ALL • 3=most of it done • 2= half of it done • 1= little done • 0= none done.

  4. Example for vocab el árbol Choice 1 English/ Spanish 1. tree el árbol Choice 2 flashcards Side 1- picture Side 2- Spanish

  5. More examples for vocab • Have spelling tests: • Parent/Sibling says english word “cat” • Student writes: el gato • Write the difficult words over and over on a piece of paper. • Divertirse • Divertirse • Divertirse • Divertirse • Divertirse • Divertirse • Divertirse

  6. Course Requirements • A= 90-100 • B= 80-89 • C= 70-79 • D= 60-69 • F= 59 and below • The GRADE AVERAGING is aligned with the high school and will be as follows: • Cumulative Assessments 35% (i.e. end of unit tests, projects, bigger quizzes) • Developmental Assessments 30% (i.e. quizzes, small projects) • Activities 20% (i.e. homework, in-class activities, bell ringers) • Final Exam 15% • Students who earned a grade of C or C- are strongly encouraged to repeat the course in ninth grade. Students who earned a D+ or lower must repeat the course in ninth grade to remain eligible for a Core 40 with Academic Honors Diploma. • Students need three years of 1 language to receive Honors Diploma or 2 years of one language and 2 of another
