They have all received their workbook by now and were asked to sign their Name and Class Grade on the top right hand corner of WB cover. These workbooks are to be kept at home, NOT in their school lockers so they can have daily access to them. The teacher will let them know when to bring them back to school to be checked. Workbook assignment will not start until we reach Unit one. They will start off with a Preliminary Unit. Each Unit is composed of two lessons. The plan is to complete two Units per quarter to total the 8 Units that completes this Level One Book.
There are many resources that can be found on the right hand side of this blog. I encourage students to make use of them so they can practice the concepts that we will be learning in the weeks to come. In this regard, they have also been asked and shown how to go to the CLASSZONE link and practice the content of each Unit as we see them in class.
STUDY HOMEWORK: Study the name and location of ALL the countries in North, Central and South America including the main islands on the Caribbean. There will be a an important "Pop Quiz" worth 50 pts Students will have three chances to get them ALL correct. If not, they will receive the original first grade he or she got on the first quiz. They are all aware of this.
READING HOMEWORK: Has already been done in class. Currently I am working on getting approval so that ALL students can have access to the online text of "Avancemos textbook" since this is a shared book that cannot be taken home. More on this later.
WRITTEN HOMEWORK: No official homework at this point
I will uploading posts periodically with regards to assignments. We will begin next week with the preliminary Unit which I hope to complete in one to two weeks with 8th graders as it is a review, and maybe two weeks with 7th graders.
I have asked students to provide an email where I can email them individually in case I have any special instructions to give them.
If you have any comments, suggestions or concerns, I am but an email away: world_language_instructor@yahoo.com
