WORLD LANGUAGE HANDBOOK CONTENTS
No
using translators or on-line dictionaries.We
want you to do your own work, not have the computer do it for you (conjugating
your own verbs, etc.).Also the
translators don’t understand the nuances of the language and are often
incorrect.Using a translator
(electronic, person, or computer) or on-line dictionary without approval from
your teacher will result in a grade reduction or a zero.
Participation
grade- This grade is
based on being prepared for class, volunteering answers, helping other
students, remaining focused on the task at hand, finishing the tasks, and
classroom conduct.
Class
rules-These are
determined with each teacher toward the beginning of the school
year.
Respect for others is essential.No
one is to ridicule or laugh at anyone else in class.Everyone
learns differently and at a different pace, and we must respect that.Remember my rule to “laugh with me,
not at me!”
Desire
to learn and participate is
key.Everyone must be willing to try and
to participate.Raise
your hand and share your ideas.
Keeping
an open mindabout various cultures and new ideas is greatly
encouraged.As we study about different
people from different places beside our own, we must remember that they have
experienced both similar and different cultural and individual experiences as
we.We must learn to be tolerant and
accepting of others and their perspectives.This doesn't mean that we have to agree.However, by learning about others and their
cultures, we just might learn something interesting!
Homework
assignmentsthat are handed in on time are a part of your
grade and shouldn’t be ignored.
Requirements
to go to the next level- As
stated in the Program of Studies below, students from Spanish One who want to
be promoted to Spanish Two will need to have a 75 yearly average or better;

yearly grade includes the midterm, final exam, and all four quarter

goals.Seek additional help from the
teacher, if needed.
