Students continue to lose valuable participation points (20% of your grade) for electronics violations, sleeping, tardys, disrupting those around them by talking during instruction, blurting out in English during Spanish instruction, or by not having supplies.
Beginning Monday April 22, when you have a revised, 4th QTR Syllabus, you will also lose participation points when you are not in class (absent, leave for bathroom , library, locker, or to go get breakfast). Therefore,
it will be important to limit exits from class so that
you have the most contact possible with the language.
For the times you are gone, or any other reason you need more participation points in your grade, use this form. You may turn in ONLY ONE participation point makeup form per week.
Spanish 2 students did a 100 word timed write today.
ASSIGNMENT: A travel lesson is in process. The handout and tasks are in the Spanish 2 documents file-should be downloaded and completed.
Page one is an extra vocabulary page that is not necessary to print-but may be interesting to students
Page two will be completed in class Monday if not finished over the three-day weekend as a practice activity. It asks students to list what kinds of items they might carry along a 500 miles pilgrimage while walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
Page three should be filled out so that students can work with a partner in a Battleship like game about what their partner will be carrying while walking El Camino.
Page 4 asks the student to look at a web site in Spain to answer questions about Santiago El Mayor, and to continue by making some brief plans for walking El Camino themselves.

So far in the Luna chapter you have had assignments titled: Qz Luna 1; Qz Luna 1LE; Qz Luna 1 Class Story, and now Qz Luna 2. Very few students put the correct headings on their papers making it very difficult for TA or myself to grade and enter scores correctly. Students are not adding last names, period of class, name of class, or the heading simply says Luna 1. So far there is NO assignment called Luna 1.
