Spanish SP 1A/B Syllabus 

Chatsworth Charter High School 

Instructor: Ms. Morales 

 

 Why learn Spanish?   It is the second most common language in the United States and among the five most spoken languages in the world. Studying Spanish helps you to understand culture.  Learning about culture helps you to understand other people’s perspectives and patterns of behavior. It helps you to expand your career opportunities and options in the twenty-first century.   

Learning a second language allows you to gain knowledge and understanding of a culture other than your own. It provides you with another connection to the outside world. In addition, as a language student, you will develop a greater insight into your own language and culture through comparisons and contrasts with the languages you learn. These elements of language acquisition will enable you to be active participants in our multilingual communalities.

Absences/Classwork/Homework/Assessments: 

 

Attendance is a vital part of student success. I encourage all students to be in class on time every day.  If the student is late, he or she must have a tardy pass.  The student is responsible for making up work if class is missed due to unexcused tardies.  If a student is tardy or absent during a quiz or a test, he/she will have to make it up on a day/time agreed upon.  If a student fails to show up for a make-up test within a reasonable time decided by the teacher, he/she will not be allowed to take it and will receive a zero. Students are responsible for getting missed assignments upon their return from an absence. There will be no extra credit to make up for missed assignments or low grades. 

 

Any activities not completed in class should be completed as homework. In addition, students should review the new vocabulary and grammar daily. Copying work is cheating and will result in a grade of zero for all students involved. Homework and classwork assignments must be clean and legible with the proper heading. Students must be present for the final exam. No make-up will be allowed for final exams. 

 

Grading Scale:  

 

Grades will be determined by student performance in the following areas: class work 55%, projects/oral participations 20%, quizzes/chapter tests 15% and a final exam 10%.  The Grading scale is as follows: 

 

 Grading scale             Cooperation                             Work Habits

 

A = 90 – 100%              E = excellent behavior               E = at least 80%of assignments completed

B = 80 – 89.9 %                                                                                                                   

 

C = 70 – 79.9 %            S = acceptable behavior             S = 60-79.9 % of assignments completed

D = 60 – 69.9 %                                                                                                                 

 

F = 59.9 – or less          U = excessive talking                U = 59.9 % or less of assignments

                                            inappropriate behavior
