Written Assignments: Guidelines:
The written assignment is graded on: grammar, vocabulary, flow, structure, comprehensibility and content. Upon submitting this assignment to dropbox, the instructor will not correct errors, but may instead underline any errors in your work as well as make suggestions for improvement. You may then use this same assignment for the oral assignment for this chapter. You are encouraged to make improvements and corrections, and you may re-submit to smarthinking if needed.
When submitting your answers: either copy and paste your answers directly into the comment box (this makes grading quicker for the instructor) or submit your answers in one of the following document formats: pdf, doc, or docx. Other formats such as .wps & .pages are not acceptable.
2 points extra credit when you use the SmartThinking tutors before submitting this assignment. You must attach the Smarthinking tutor markup to receive credit.
Written & Oral Assignments: Guidelines
There is the same topic for the written & oral dropbox assignments. Assigning one topic allows students the opportunity to review and improve their understanding of the Spanish grammar and vocabulary. This process of review and re-working is an essential part of learning and retaining a language.
You must only use the vocabulary from the current chapter in addition to vocabulary from previous chapters.
If you use vocabulary from another source other than your textbook, you will receive a ZERO GRADE for that assignment.
If you wish to use a word that doesn’t appear in your textbook, you must underline that word. You must then add a footnote including the entry of the word and the source (web address or dictionary title).
You must only use the grammar from the current chapter in addition to grammar from previous chapters.
If you use more advanced grammar that appears in later chapters or from other sources, you will receive a ZERO GRADE for that assignment.
If you wish to use a grammar structure that is more advanced, you must underline it and then in the footnote briefly explain why you have used it
