SPANISH II SYLLABUS
OBJECTIVE
MRS. BARRETT
ROOM 512
valeriabarrett@mooreschools.com
The Spanish courses are designed to help the student gain awareness and appreciation for the Spanish culture and
become motivated to pursue further foreign language studies.
My objective is to help each student attain an acceptable degree of proficiency in the four skills listening, reading,
speaking and writing in an informal and relaxed environment. I will also introduce the student to the Spanish speaking
culture through movies, fieldtrips, news clips, documentaries, authentic audio, newspaper, and magazine articles.
MATERIAL (you must bring these items to class every day)




Pen or pencil
Lined paper
Binder or folder to keep all Spanish work
Workbook (Mrs. Barrett will check these out to you)
Teacher's wish list: crayons, colored pencils, glue and scissors
CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
Students will follow all rules outlined in the student handbook provided online by the Moore School District. They will also
follow the following rules:
1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others
•
Show respect for the teacher, yourself and others at all times.
•
Respect others’ property. Avoid touching or writing on anything that does not belong to you (including desks,
textbooks, teacher’s belongings, walls, chalkboard, etc.). Don't expect that others will clean-up your messes. Please pick-up
after yourself.
•
Respect yourself and the rest of us by using appropriate language and wearing appropriate clothing.
•
Be a kind person.
2.
•
•
•
Put forth your best effort at all times
Always do your own best work.
Put learning ahead of getting good grades.
Put quality ahead of just getting it done.
3.
•
§
§
§
Be prepared for class each day
Come prepared with all materials necessary:
An organized class binder containing all necessary materials and handouts
Loose leaf paper, pens (blue or black), and pencils
Your agenda to help keep you organized - the most successful students are organized.
4. Follow directions when given
•
When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused or have questions, ask. I
would rather have you stop class to clarify than be off task while everyone else is working.
5. Pay attention, participate and ask questions
•
Engage in what is going on in the classroom. If you have a question, ask it! Otherwise, I might not know until the test
that you didn’t understand something. There are no stupid questions, and chances are, if you are wondering about it,
someone else in the class is to. Be proactive about your learning and don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you feel most
comfortable waiting until after class, that is okay, too, but do keep communication open between us.
6. Preserve a positive learning environment
•
Student actions that interfere with teaching or learning in the classroom will NOT be tolerated.
•
Use class time to learn Spanish. Please do not spend your time grooming, sleeping, talking, writing notes, playing
cards, listening to music, text-messaging friends, or doing work for other classes.
•
Minimize classroom interruptions by arriving to class on time and not leaving the classroom during the hour.
7. Take responsibility for your actions
•
If you are confronted about a rule infraction, own up to it. Don’t deny it, lie about it, or blame someone else.
•
Take responsibility for missed assignments.
•
All handbook rules will be enforced. Please read your handbook. Students that choose to break these rules, choose
to have points taken away from their learning readiness grade, and face the possibility of additional consequences.
CLASS RULES
1. Turn off cell phones & electronic devices
•
Cell Phones should be turned off and invisible during the class period. If I see or hear your phone it will be taken
away and given to an administrator, according to cell phone policy outlined in the MHS handbook. Refusal to turn over the
cell phone will be treated as insubordinate behavior.
2. Arrive to class on time & ready to learn
•
When the bell rings, you need to be sitting in your assigned seat.
•
You should immediately begin on the warm up activity.
•
Be “physically” and “mentally” present in the classroom
3. Never line up at the door before dismissal
•
Please remain in your seat until I have dismissed you. Never line up at the door before dismissal. Remember, I
dismiss you, not the bell.
4. Do not cheat, plagiarize, or copy work
•
Cheating is completely unacceptable. If I see you cheating on any assignment… even for another class… I will give
you a zero and report the incident to the other teacher as well as your assistant principal and parents.
•
Plagiarism (copying work from another source without giving proper credit) is completely unacceptable. If you
plagiarize on any assignment you will earn a “0” on that assignment with no opportunity to re-do the work for credit.
5. Use polite and appropriate language
•
Offensive, derogatory, and profane terms are not tolerated. In order to have a safe classroom environment where all
students feel comfortable, no put downs, swear words, or slang words with demeaning connotations will be accepted.
Remember, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all!
6. Do your best work & turn it in on time
•
Remember that the work that you turn-in is a reflection of your effort on the assignment. Think about the following
expectations when you are preparing an assignment that I will review:
§
Write your full name and hour on all assignments.
§
All work must be neatly done and legible in order to receive credit. If you print, capitalize properly (do not write using
all capital letters).
§
ALL MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS, ESSAYS & PROJECTS MUST BE TYPED. If you don't have a computer at home,
the Media Center is a great place to work on essays! Final draft format for typewritten work is as follows: 12-point font,
double-spaced, 1” margins, and use a “normal font” such as Arial, Comic Sans, Times New Roman, etc. (nothing too difficult
to read and a font that prints using capital and lower-case letters).
Levels of offenses
1st: conference with student
2nd: call or email home
3rd: conference with student and parent
4th: conference with student, parent and grade level counselor
5th: conference with student, parent, grade level counselor and grade level principal
METHOD OF TEACHING
(Please read carefully with your student)
In this particular Spanish class, the student will be learning Spanish thought TPRS (total physical response
storytelling). A series of words will be taught with a physical gesture. Once the student learns the words, a story will be
taught using all the words learned. The student will be able to tell and act out the story, in Spanish, without problem. There
will be no failure in this class unless the student does not participate or is excessively absent.
This method of teaching recognizes the natural tendency to understand language before attempting to speak it.
While using this method students are not required to speak, but the MUST do the gestures/actions after the teacher.
Student’s participation is very crucial to be successful in class.
