Spanish II

Course Description

Hola, Bienvenidos a la clase de Español II!! Spanish II is a continuation of Spanish I. Students are required to participate in the course by spending a large part of each class period speaking with classmates and making presentations to the class completely in Spanish. Students will learn the language through speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. These skills will be practiced through classroom work, computer activities, and through participating in an intense student audio program. This is a challenging course which requires discipline and hard work; however, the benefits are soon realized as students find themselves becoming bilingual. Many assignments will require internet access. If students do not have internet access at home, the FHS library provides access until 3:30 each day.

Classroom Rules

1. Be prepared-all needed materials must be brought to class each class period. There are no passes out to retrieve missing materials.

2. Be on time-School rules apply. Any grade missed due to a tardy is to be made up on the same day after school, or will result in a zero.

3. Be respectful-

* Speak with a pleasant tone toward the teacher and toward fellow classmates. Many students are overly eager to demonstrate their new-found language skills. Please remember that everyone deserves their turn to practice. Be patient and raise your hand before answering.

*Please respect your classmates by maintaining personal grooming at the appropriate time and place-not the Spanish classroom. There will be no hair brushing, applying deodorant, finger nail polishing etc.

*If you choose to not complete an assignment, please respect your classmates who did. Do not ask to borrow their work, jeopardizing their grade as well.

Grades will be determined from the following: Homework, quizzes, projects, compositions, listening activities, speaking activities

Materials-Notebooks (binders) are required and will be checked periodically.

I look forward to “un año maravilloso” (a great year).

Muchísimas gracias,

Señora Storey
