I. Course Description: Students will expand their language abilities through the four modes of communication
(reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in order to use Spanish in practical real-life situations. Two units in the
Avancemos series will be covered per trimester with an additional introductory unit at the beginning of the first
trimester.
II. Course Objectives: Students will enhance proficiency in oral and written communication in Spanish as well as
develop an appreciation of other people and cultures.
III. Grading: Grades will be determined based on points earned on written and oral assignments, presentations,
quizzes, tests, final exams, homework and participation.
The following percentage system will be used:

due to an excused absence, quizzes and tests need to be made-up within 2 days per day of absence (RHS policy).
Participation: This grade is based on individual and/or partner and group work, and reflects your effort to use
Spanish as well as how well you are prepared for class.
Help: Please see your teacher immediately if you need any help. Teachers are available for help before and after
school. In addition, students can see their counselor to request a tutor.
