Any subsequent or unexcused late homework or classwork will receive half credit.
Any late tests, quizzes, or projects will lose 10% for each day it is late, up to 50%.

Participation is an important part of learning languages! Positive participation in class includes attempting to answer questions, volunteering to write on the board or act out a skit, being on task, and following instructions.
Participation will be recorded on the participation grids and weekly participation grades.
