ESPAÑOL 2
¡Bienvenidos a Español 2! Welcome to Spanish 2. Welcome back, I hope that you all had a great summer. This course
will expand your vocabulary and we will add many other verb tenses. The course will be taught primarily in Spanish. You
will be provided a textbook (GLENCOE SPANISH 2 BUEN VIAJE), which will remain in the classroom. A workbook
(WRITING ACTIVITIES WORKBOOK) will also be provided. You are responsible for this workbook and will complete the
majority of the workbook throughout the school year. However, you are NOT to write in the workbook, please write your
work out on a separate piece of paper. Again, do NOT write in the workbook. You will be responsible for completing
workbook pages for homework throughout the chapter.
During the first semester we will cover chapters 1-3 and in the second semester we will cover chapters 4-9. There will be
chapter projects, pop quizzes and tests for each chapter completed. I encourage you to speak as much Spanish inside and
outside of the classroom. This is a great opportunity for you to take advantage of speaking the language. Plus, it could
always help your participation points!!
Technology in the classroom will be use throughout the year. I continually update my website at
www.burgettstown.k12.pa.us, with weekly homework assignments, projects completed in class, and news happening in our
school and classroom. I will also post all vocabulary lists (blank and answers) for you to use as a study aid. Please check
out my website for information you may have missed in class. I also update grades weekly and they can be viewed through
the website, please monitor your grade.
