Your responsibilities
Oggi
You must come into class and immediately get to work on the Oggi and the Warm-up. It
is a timed exercise. Failure to complete the warm-up in the allotted time will result in
losing points for classwork/participation.
What is the Oggi?
It is the date and weather in Italian. You must also copy down the
Essential Question and be prepared to answer that question at the end of class.
The warm-up will usually be an exercise based on the previous day’s lesson.
Classwork/Homework
You will have an Esercizi folder which will contain all of your Vocabulary and Grammar
assignments from the Tabella. The folders are due every FRIDAY with all completed
assignments. You will usually have 5 homework assignments per week. It is your
responsibility to place them in the bin. You will lose 5 pts for everyday late. I will not
accept loose papers.
You may choose to create a new idea for the Tabella- please check with me before you
do it. I love new ideas!
I will be assigning Classwork that I expect to be completed. It will be graded on a daily
or weekly basis. Failure to do the assignments will negatively effect your
Classwork/Participation grade.
Missing Work
It is YOUR responsibility to make up missing work. I will not chase after you. You
already know the Esercizi folder is due each FRIDAY. Any additional handouts or
assignments will be in the Class Absent Folder in the back of the classroom. Please talk
to me at the beginning or end of class if you have questions about missing work. Check
the website also. If you miss a test or quiz, YOU must ask me when you can make it up.
