DAILY AGENDA-published my GOOGLE CLASSROOM stream

1. VOCABULARY:

Vocabulary words are the building blocks of language learning, each word is like a lego. The more legos you have, the more you can build. Consequently, the more words you know the more you are able to comprehend and to communicate in the Spanish language! So, take advantage of the 1st 5 minutes of class to study your VOCABULARY WORDS in Quizlet. 

  • Click on the join code for your Spanish class, since each level is different. 

2. COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT or GRAMMATICAL INSTRUCTION:

In order to acquire the Spanish language, we will spend at least 20-25 minutes interacting in Spanish, through spoken and/or written messages. We will either be reading, listening, or watching Spanish content together to prepare you for the last 10 minutes of class. Every now and then, we will need to focus on learning the mechanics of the language and study Spanish grammar.

ASSESSMENTS EVERY DAY = PARTICIPATION POINTS EVERY DAY!

During the last 5-10 minutes of class, you will participate in an assessment to earn PESOS. These assessments demonstrate your comprehension & application of the class content. This activity will most likely occur through the following technologies SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THESE APPS/OR HAVE ACCESS TO THESE SITES ON YOUR IPAD:

  • NEARPOD
  • KAHOOT
  • SOCRATIVE
  • QUIZIZZ
  • QUIZALIZE

EVEN IF YOU ARE ABSENT, YOU ARE STILL REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THESE DAILY ASSESSMENTS!

  • HOW DO I EARN PESOS? - I earn, when I participate!

 Participation:  Participation is essential when acquiring a new language because you will automatically acquire Spanish through listening and involving yourself in classroom activities. You will receive PESOS for participation in conversations, volunteering correct answers, AND completing daily assessments. Each day you will have the opportunity to earn PESOS. Your participation grade is based on the class average of PESOS earned during the week.  

Whatever the class average is = 100%. Therefore, if the class average is 50 pesos and you earned 40 pesos, your participation grade is an 80%=C. However, if you earned 55, your grade is a 110%= A+++ extra pesos result in extra credit!

*you can only earn a maximum of 10 EXTRA pesos per week.
