 * ESPAÑOL 3 - SYLLABUS **
 * We will try to cover the first half of the textbook during the Fall semester and the second half of the textbook in the Spring semester.
 * Below is how I generally divide the regular school week during the academic year. This will vary.
 * ** MONDAY **
 * Vocabulary Activities
 * At the end of this course (Spanish 3 – Intermediate High level) students will be able to converse with ease and confidence when dealing with most routine tasks and social situations of the Intermediate level. They will be able to handle successfully many uncomplicated tasks and social situations requiring an exchange of basic information related to work, school, recreation, particular interests and areas. Intermediate-High level speakers will be able to narrate and describe in major time frames using connected discourse of paragraph length with few errors. Intermediate High level speakers can generally be understood by native speakers unaccustomed to dealing with non-natives, although the dominant language is still evident (e.g. use of code-switching, false cognates, literal translations, etc.) (ACTFL, 1999)
 * 1)  Any behavior which breaks school rules or keeps the teacher from teaching is unacceptable.
 * 2)  Arrive on time
 * 3)  Bring all required materials to class.
 * 4)  Respect others: use appropriate language and keep your comments to yourself.
 * 5)  Raise your hand to ask or answer a question.
 * 6)  Keep the classroom clean and pick up your trash.
 * 7)  Cell phones, other electronic devices or anything not related to the Spanish class will be picked up if used in the classroom. These devices and things distract you from learning in my class.
 * 8)  Stay awake at all times, sleeping is not allowed!
 * 9)  Respect Professor Krenek: there is no talking while teacher is instructing the class.
 * 10)  Pay attention and take notes!!
 * 1)  Teacher addressed misbehavior in class by talking individually to student (warning)
 * 2)  Teacher will ask student to step outside of the classroom.
 * 3)  Teacher talks to parent (parent conference)
 * 4)   Teacher writes a discipline slip and student is sent to his/her AP’s (Assistant Principal) office.
 * 1)  When you are absent, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find out about the work that you missed, regardless of the reason for the absence. You must check the class calendar for the days you missed. If worksheets were handed out, ask the teacher for a copy.
 * 2)  You will have the number of days that you were absent to turn in written assignments or make up quizzes or tests given while you were absent. For example:
 * 1)  Work assigned before your absence such as projects, will be due upon return to school. Any time after that, it will be considered late.
 * 2)  KEEP UP WITH THE CLASS CALENDAR. YOU WILL BE GIVEN A PAPER COPY, A BLOWN UP COPY WILL BE POSTED IN THE ROOM AND THERE WILL BE AN ELECTRONIC FORM OF IT IN THE TEACHER WEBSITE UNDER RESOURCES.
 *  * I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY CLASS. !
 * TAKE PRIDE ON YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
 * SEE ME IF YOU NEED ANY HELP (make an appointment)
