OVERVIEW
Spanish
I at Chester Academy is a fun and exciting
excursion into the study of Hispanic world
culture with a healthy dose of basic vocabulary,
daily practical conversation and Spanish
grammar. With supporting projects in visual
art, music, video and food, our Spanish I
students develop a strong foundation that
supported by our strong Spanish II course,
enables most students to enjoy an advanced
Spanish course when they reach high school. The
following points are important to your student’s
success:
STUDY
HELPS & GRADING
“
STUDY 10-15 minutes each night –
memorization is essential!
“
BE PREPARED! DIME UNO textbook,
notebook, pen/pencil, kwik
sheet,
diccionario, dry
erase markers – every day!!!
“
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Handed in on time: 100%
1 day late: 50%
2 days late: 0 to 50%
Any number is better than a zero!
Hand in your work!!!
Grade weights change each quarter. During the
first term, all students are encouraged to use
all of their resources to support their
knowledge during tests and quizzes (open book
tests). During the second term, self-reliance
and memorization is supported by language games
and projects. Third and fourth terms see our
Spanish I students relying on what they’ve
learned in order to apply daily conversation (no
resources). They begin to THINK in Spanish!
NO TRANSLATION PROGRAMS MAY BE USED TO COMPLETE
PROJECTS or HOMEWORK! They can be easily
spotted and often do not support the current
lesson. Use of these programs for
classwork is
considered cheating and will yield a call home
and an in-school consequence. Translation
programs are appropriate for enrichment, but
please know that they often work only for
vocabulary and don’t always accurately present
correct grammar.
¡Muchas gracias y
buena
suerte!
