Spanish 1B Summer Assignment: Part 1 – DUOLINGO (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking)
1) Create a free account on Duolingo.com. Please click “Sign up with e-mail.” You should use your
school e-mail (@students.bdcs.org). If, for some reason, your school e-mail is not working, you
may use your personal e-mail. Do not use Facebook or Google Plus. For your username, please
use your first name and your last initial (Example: Jane Doe = JaneD or JaneD18). If you need to
add a number afterwards, you can do that.
2) Once you have created an account, log in. You will see this screen. Take the placement test.
3) When you finish, you will have a screen that looks something like this. Depending on how you
did on your placement test, you may have more of the gray bars that are filled in.
4) Now, click on any of the circles to either re-do the lessons or strengthen the skills to earn XP
points. Each circle has at least three lessons. Work through the lessons in order. Once you
complete the lessons, strengthen the skill to color in the bars around the lesson.
5) You earn 10-15 XP points with each lesson that you do. You also earn XP points for testing out of
skills. You should try to do 3-5 lessons each week. Each lesson is about 10 minutes long.
6) There is an excellent app for your phone that you can use to practice on the go.
7) Students who earn 300 XP points by the first day of class will earn 100% on their summer
reading assignment. Students who earn 260 XP points will earn 90%, students who earn 230
points will earn 80% and students who earn 200 points will earn 70%. If you have fewer than
200 XP points on the first day of class, you will not pass the summer assignment, which is also
the first grade of the class.
