Spanish 3/4 students will consistently demonstrate that they are achieving the course goals as stated in the syllabus. They will demonstrate these course goals in daily achievement, unit/chapter achievement and semester/year achievement.

• Daily: Students and teacher will use Spanish as the language of communication the majority of the time (grammar and other points may be explained in English at teacher’s discretion). Students are expected to use Spanish in the classroom.
• Formative assessments: Formative assessments will include daily use of Spanish in the classroom, and completed homework and classwork.
• Summative assessments: A variety of summative assessments will be given for each chapter, and include (but are not limited to) quizzes, tests, projects and presentations. All courses will include a semester final that will comprise roughly 15-20% of the student’s overall grade, depending on the progress of the individual class, and can vary from year to year.
