Spanish 4 Syllabus
Spanish 4 – 2007-2008
Materials needed: Each day, in addition to their text books and/or workbooks, students will need to bring a loose-leaf notebook or binder with dividers, sufficient paper, pens and pencils. Please do not ask the teacher for supplies. It is highly suggested that students at this advanced level obtain their own Spanish/English dictionary, one with at least 50,000+ words. These are available at local bookstores as well as online starting at around $7.00. Some good names are Larousse, Amsco.
Course Description: This advanced level Spanish course is designed to help students master the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) while learning about the culture of the Spanish speaking world. Cultural information pertaining to the topics of this course is included where appropriate. Geography from Spanish speaking countries along with some literature will be introduced. The topical content provides a springboard for communication practice and the incorporation of the supplemental material.
Grading policy: Student’s grades are calculated by using percentages. Grades will be earned from tests, quizzes, homework, written and oral projects, daily activities and participation. At the end of each semester they will have a cumulative final. 40% of student’s grade will come through oral evaluation.
· Homework will make up 10% of the overall grade.
· Quizzes are 20%
· Participation and cooperation (based on oral/aural and written classwork) are 15%
· Tests are 40%
· Final is 15%
Make-Up Policy: Absences should be avoided. Students will be allowed to make up work according to the Fulton County/CHS Make Up Policy. (Please review the details of this policy on pages 6-7 in your Student Handbook.) Please note that, according to the policy, “…students who are present for any portion of the school day are expected to turn in all assignments due on that day in order to receive full credit for that assignment.” IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS MISSED AND TURN IT IN ON TIME. If you have TAG or a field trip, you are NOT absent and MUST submit work and be responsible for assignments for the following day. Assignments will be posted in class for the students to reference. Late work always receives a reduced grade. Homework will not be accepted late. It is the responsibility of the student to complete assignments without reminders from the teacher.
