Course Overview
Spanish 2 will continue to build upon the fundamental skills learned in Spanish 1. Students will
focus on expanded vocabulary and grammar structure to broaden their understanding of the
language and communicate more effectively. Students will be expected to speak, write, read and
listen using Spanish on a daily basis.
Grading
Various assignments done in and out of class, class participation, individual and group projects,
quizzes, and tests will be used to assess learning.
Most homework assignments will be reviewed in class and graded for completion. There will,
however, be homework assignments turned in and graded for completion or accuracy. Late
homework will not be accepted.
Student Expectations
• Be on-task: When listening to directions or given any assignment, you must be dedicated to the
task at hand. Not fully participating in the assignment by using class time for other subjects or
using the iPad when not directed to do so will result in a warning the first time, then a demerit
each time after.
• Attendance and Absence: Students are encouraged to be in class daily. While written work
can be made up, the verbal practice, questions, answers, and listening skills cannot be
duplicated. In the event of absence, the student is to ask for notes from a classmate and
retrieve work from the Absent Bin in the classroom under their class period. The student has
the number of days they were absent plus one from the day he/she returns to turn in the
assignment. For example, if the student was absent one day, he/she has two days to turn in
the assignment. If the student was absent two days, he/she has three days to turn in the
assignment. Students may contact me before a known absence to get assignments they will
miss.
• Conduct: Students are to be respectful in the classroom at all times. When the teacher or
another student is speaking, there is to be no other talking. Talking or disturbing the class will
result in a warning the first time, then a demerit each time after.
• Attitude: Students are encouraged to participate and speak Spanish when prompted as well
as help to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for mistakes to happen. Spanish
spoken incorrectly is valued over no attempt at speaking Spanish.
Putting in a great effort for all assignments and staying on top of the information will help
you do well and learn Spanish. If you are having trouble, let me know. I am available to help
you.
