Spanish II
¡Bienvenidos a la clase de Español! The
Spanish II class is designed to review material from Spanish I and further
introduce students to the Spanish Language. Students will learn new vocabulary
along with verb conjugations in the present, past, future and conditional
tenses. Students will learn these new concepts through writing, reading,
listening comprehension and verbal communication. A main goal of this class is for the student
to improve his/her verbal communication skills by means of speaking and
listening comprehension activities. Students will also become familiar with the
different Spanish-speaking countries and their respective cultures. The Spanish
lessons will include stories, films, games, worksheets and other activities.
Students need to come prepared every day with paper, pen/pencil and other
materials and assignments.

Academic misconduct: Using translators (on-line) or asking to native speakers to
complete your work are not doing your work honestly. Using an online
dictionary to find one word is very different than using the service to
complete entire paragraphs or assignments. It is like having someone else do
your work for you. This is cheating and is dishonest and may result in 0 (zero)
credit.
Required
Materials: Students will need to bring the
following items to class each day:
- · 3-ring binder with dividers: Warm-ups, Vocabulary and Grammar, Classwork, Homework/Projects. It is the student responsibility to keep papers organized! (The binder is a project and it is worth 50 pts).
- · Pencils (#2)
- · Eraser
- · Blue or black pens
- · loose-leaf lined paper
- · Practice book. (A practice book will be assigned to each student)
- · Book: Descubre I
Grading: The
grading scale for this class will be the one used by the School District by
means of Synergy. Grading will be based
upon daily assignments, quizzes, tests, and other projects /presentations as
follows:
•Homework 5%
•Classwork
(participation) 25%
•Quizzes 20%
•Tests, projects 40%
•Final Test 10%
Classwork, Tests & Quizzes: If the student
misses a class, test or quiz due to an Excused
Absence, the student will have 5
(five) days to make up the missed classwork, test or quiz. It is the
student responsibility to submit missed classwork activities and to schedule a
make-up time and appear at that time
to take the test or quiz. Failure to do so, it will result in a grade of 0 (zero) for the test or
quiz.
Re-takes: No re-takes for quizzes and
tests. It is the student responsibility to review and study every day.
Late
Work: No late work will be accepted. Due to the fast-paced
nature of the course, ALL ASSIGMENTS ARE DUE WITHIN THE ASSIGNED TIME FRAME, except for Excused Absences, the
student will have 1 (one) day per excused absence day to turn-in projects
and/or homework.
Help: If you are confused about a topic, seek help from your
teacher. Remember, YOU must make the teacher aware of any difficulties
completing the assignments.
