Español II
-Course Expectation:
This course will emphasize the mastery of the Spanish language and grammar. We will be learning new vocabulary and different grammar structures. Given the pace and amount of material covered in this course, students are expected to maintain the highest level of attendance.
Take some time each day to review new vocabulary, verbs and other structures, not just before a quiz.
The sooner you understand the new words, the more easily you will understand what is being said in class.
Classroom expectations
- Express yourself in Spanish throughout the class.
- Write extensively and use on-line resources available (i.e. news, etc)
- Read different genres, such as short stories, plays, news articles, magazines and literature.
- Practice taking a position on issues and on problem solving daily life situations in Spanish.
- Take advantage of the large number of Spanish speakers in the community to promote cultural understanding and cooperation.
- Contact me by email as soon as problems arise.
- Be respectful at all times.
- Keep up with your work. Each new step depends on the one before it. If you miss one, then you have actually missed two. Get the phone number of several of your classmates to check on your assignments, if needed.
Listening Comprehension
Students are expected to comprehend the language when it is spoken at normal speed using a wide range of vocabulary. It is helpful to generate a vocabulary list of unknown words. They are expected to comprehend familiar and related material in a new context when they are spoken at normal speed.
Students listen to each other’s presentations and take notes while they are listening. Each presentation is followed by an evaluation.
Speaking
Spanish is the official language of the class. Students will regularly remind each other to use the target language. When necessary, grammatical difficulties are explained in English. Students work independently, with partners, or in small groups to practice drills and to prepare oral presentations. They participate in conversations that depict normal, real-life situations. Other times they dramatize a story by making up their own script, imaging what the different characters might have said. Students also give oral presentations about a sequence of pictures, and practice brief responses with time constraints.
Students are expected to:
- Speak Spanish at all times during class
- Use correct pronunciation, intonation and rhythm
- Recognize familiar vocabulary and grammatical forms and apply them to new situations while using the proper pronunciation and intonation.
- Seek help as needed
Reading
Reading is the best tool to build vocabulary and to acquire insight into the Spanish-speaking world. Students read continuously throughout the school year and during their own time. Students will read short stories, plays, magazines, etc. Students may react, analyze, summarize and draw conclusions from the material they have read and present it to the class or to a group.
Grammar
Students coming into theSpanish II course should be familiar with most grammar topics learned in previous year. As a consequence, the teaching of new concepts follows the quick review of old ones.
Materials
Composition notebook (spiral 3 subject)
Basics (pen, pencil, eraser)
Grading
Beginning January 5th, 2016 the LOTE department will be making changes to the grading policy for Levels 1 through 3. We believe that these changes will provide a more accurate reflection of students’ performance and achievement in our language classes.
The grading policy will be as follows:
25% Prep work
35% Quizzes/minor assessments
40% Exams/major assessments
Prep Work – may include graded classwork and
homework, culture log, grammar checks, participation, notebook checks, and/or a portfolio assessment per unit (at least 3 per grading period)
Minor Assessments – may include in-class projects, mini-projects, comprehension quizzes, short writing/speaking assessments. (at least 2 per grading period)
Major Assessments – may include end of unit exam/IPA, major projects, and/or presentations. (at least 1 per grading period)
Each six-week term accounts for 25% of your semester grade (75% total). The remaining 25% of your semester grade will be your Final Exam and/or Project.
Late and make-up work policy
Late work/Unexcused absences make up work:
Classwork – no late classwork will be accepted.
Hwk – 50% if turned in the following class period, then zero.
Projects - 20 points off if turned in the following calendar day. 10 points deducted each day after.
Major assessment missed due to an unexcused absence – See retake policy.
Excused absences:
Anything that was due the day you were absent will be due the day you return to school.
See student handbook for excused absence policy.
Field trips:
You are required to turn things in and take the necessary assessments PRIOR to your field trip.
Retake Policy
· Retakes on major assessments only.
· Students may retake a major assessment if they receive a 69 or below. Students must do the retake within 48 hours of the date the graded assessment/rubric was given back. For a maximum grade of 70.
· If the retake grade is higher, the highest grade will be recorded.
· If the retake grade is lower, the average of the two will be average.
Academic Honesty
I strictly adhere to the campus Academic Honor Code. Students are expected to write and sign the honor code in all assessments (major and minor) as a reminder of our academic honesty policy.
If a student is caught giving or receiving unauthorized aid on any work (including classwork, homework, and assessments), they will receive a zero with no opportunity to retake, and they will be given a referral.
In addition, the use of online translators, grammar checkers, or your native speaker friend or relative is strictly prohibited. You may seek help, but all work must be your own. If asked, you should be able to reproduce the same work or very similar caliber work without assistance. Failure to adhere to this policy is considered a violation of the Academic Honor Code (aka cheating).
