Binder / Class Work (25%): You will keep a 2’’- 3’’ ring binder specifically for this class. This binder will be divided into the different units covered in this class. I will check your binders throughout the year so be sure to keep them organized.
Daily bell ringers and class activities will also be randomly collected at least once a week. Be sure to begin on a new sheet every day. Your notes will be written on a separate sheet following the Warrior Notes format, formerly known as Cornell Notes.
Participation (5%): Participation is an important component to your final grade and an asset to your learning. If you miss class, no participation points can be awarded for that day, therefore you will receive a zero. Each day I will evaluate your class participation and record a score of 2 points, 1 point or 0 points.
2 points
? Student arrived on time.
? Student was prepared for class with all the required materials and participated in class activities.
1 point
? Student arrived late.
? Student was not prepared for class (ie. forgetting required materials).
0 points
? Student was absent or disruptive (talked to others, did homework for other classes, slept, etc.)
? Student refused to participate in class activities.
Homework (20%): Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and due dates will be provided when assigned. This year, homework assignments will be submitted online using eStudio. Homework activities will be assigned daily throughout the week, but the deadline for submission of all activities for each week will be no later than Fridays by 4pm.
For each activity, you have a maximum of TWO attempts to complete the task correctly. You must obtain a minimum of 80% to receive credit for the activity. If you receive 79% or less on any particular activity, you will not receive credit for that activity.
For example: This week John Doe had 10 activities to be submitted by Friday at 4pm. He received 60% on two of the activities he attempted, and 80% or higher on the other eight activities. Therefore, he receives 8 out of 10 possible homework points for that week.
Do NOT leave homework for the last minute. You may not finish or you may encounter technological problems if you wait until the last minute. You know in advance what is due and when it is due. Use the textbook to help you complete the online activities. Read instructions and whole exercise carefully before listening to or performing the task. For audio exercises you may need to listen several times to each exercise.
Projects (15%): Each unit will consist of at least one project. These projects include several activities including compositions, short presentations, and other hands-on activities. The due date for each assignment will be provide to you when the project is first assigned.
Quizzes (15%): We will have weekly quizzes throughout the year. You must be prepared and review materials before coming to class. These quizzes may or may not be announced ahead of time. You may possibly use your notes in some of the quizzes, so make sure you take notes that will benefit you in the future.
Unit Exams (10%): We will end each unit with an exam. Though these exams will test your knowledge on the content covered in each unit, remember that acquiring a language and succeeding in this class will require cumulative knowledge.
Final Exam (10%): At the end of each semester there will be a final exam. The first final exam will consist of the chapters covered up to the end of the first semester. The second final exam, given at the end of the school year, will be an extension of the chapters covered during the second semester.
