    Language is power, and your study of the Spanish language will give you the power to communicate with more than 285 million people who speak Spanish daily. You will be learning to UNDERSTAND, SPEAK, READ and WRITE Spanish. The more you use your new skill the more proficient you will become and the more fun you will have with your new power.

     

    DESCRIPTION: In Spanish I students will learn how to ask and answer simple questions in conversation (introductions, how you’re feeling etc…). Students will understand schedules and learn how to make plans in Spanish. Students will also be able to explore the cultures of Spain and Mexico as well as many other Spanish-speaking countries. (More info and descriptions can be found in the Career Pathway Guide.)

     

    MATERIALS (bring daily):

                Textbook

                Three-ring binder/Folder with clasps in which to keep all papers related to this course

                Dividers or some technique to organize each section

                Paper (Standard notebook size)

                Pencil or pen

                Agenda or whatever you use to record assignments

     

    WHAT I EXPECT OF STUDENTS:

    1. Always try your best and be responsible.
    2. Always volunteer each class period.
    3. Always participate in oral class drills and paired or group work.
    4. Always do your homework on time. Homework is a requirement-not an option.
    5. Always bring your materials.
    6. Always check on class work and assignments before class when returning from an absence.
    7. Always use the restroom either before class or ask to use it towards the end of class.
    8. Always behave in an appropriate manner. Respect yourself, peers and your teacher. **

     

    PARTICIPATION:

    Participation is very important in this class. There are two types of participation: Voluntary and Obligatory. You will receive one point for voluntary participation when you answer a question without any preparation. You will receive one point for obligatory participation (1/1) when the teacher calls on you to answer a question when you’ve had time to prepare yourself (EX: homework questions). You will be expected to actively participate in all classroom activities. If you do not participate daily you will lose points. Participation is very important and if you do not participate the result might be failure of the course.
