Description:
During the second year of language study, students expand their knowledge of the foundational grammar
structures and expand the vocabulary that comprises written and spoken language. Students move from only
speaking and writing about current actions (present tense) to speaking about completed actions using the two
past tenses: preterit and imperfect. By the end of year II, they should be able to make a purchase, order in a
restaurant, discuss daily routine including: chores and grooming activities, planning a party, and discussing
professions and places around town.
Course Standards:
Students will be able to:

Talk about pastimes and hobbies

Discuss food and nutrition
Talk about their daily routine and house chores
Seek medical attention
Ask/give directions around town

Textbook:
We will use a variety of resources in the class to enrich the students language development. These materials are either
online, or available in the classroom. Such materials include, but are not limited to:

Aventura, En Espaol, Voces I and II, teacher discovery, quizlet, wordplay.com, and conjuguemos.com, Aventuras

Materials:

2 binder
5 tabbed binder dividers
Filler paper
Blue or black pens or lead pencils
Optional materials: dry erase markers, tissues, Spanish-English dictionary

Grading is based on a point system (example: a quiz could be worth 20 points, or a homework assignment could be
worth 10)
Quizzes, tests, projects, homework, online assignments, binders, participation (class dojo) and final exams are all
part of the students grade.
Reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills will all be assessed using a proficiency scale.

Grading:

All summative assessments such as tests, quizzes, and projects will be equivalent to 60% of the grade, while
homework, classwork, participation etc. will be equivalent to 40%
Extra credit:
o All extra credit will be for skill building (conjuguemos.com, wordplay.com) or cultural enrichment
(cultural presentations*, movie review*, event review*, authentic food preparation*).

*must be Pre-approved by teacher!

Participation and attendance:

Participation is a required part of this course, and class dojo will be used to track each individual students
participation. This will count towards his or her grade.
Per school policy, if a student has an excused absence, he or she may complete missing assignments for a grade. It
is their responsibility to ask for their missing assignments, and they must turn them in with the missing
assignments form still attached.
If an assignment is turned in late, it is subject to a 2 point deduction for each day that it was late.
Make-up tests/re-tests:
o Students must submit a request to re-test if they are re-taking a test they did poorly on (document is available in the
forms and docs page on my website).
o If a student was absent for a test or quiz, he or she must make arrangements to come before or after school, or during
CLC time, to take the assessment within 1 week of the absence.
Homework:
o Homework will be assigned throughout each unit.
