MRS. BRYANT
INTRODUCTION TO WORLD LANGUAGE
During
this semester-long course you will study four world languages:
German, French, Spanish, and
Japanese. These 4, plus American
Sign
Language,
are offered at the high school.
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
TWO pens and/or pencils, paper, binder, and planner.
Textbooks & flashcards in a protective cover. (I will supply these.)
Markers
or colored pencils will be nice to have, but are not required.
CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
Be
quietly working in your assigned seat when class starts..
Do
not do anything that will make it difficult for the teacher to teach, or
for students
to learn.
Show
respect for every member of the class, and for their property.
No
food, drinks, or gum in class.
GRADES:
Your
grade will be based on points from assignments, class participation,
bi-weekly quizzes, and bringing supplies. Extra credit (up to 10% of grade) is
also available by completing any unassigned chapter sections, or by doing a
special assignment related to
issued on the following basis:
A: 90-100% B:
80-89% C: 70-79%
D: 60-69% F:
0-59%
Students
will get 2 late-assignment passes per quarter.
Late assignments
turned in without a pass attached can receive only 75% of the credit they would have received if on time. No late assignments or extra credit are accepted during the last week of a quarter
MAKE-UP WORK:
Very
little homework will be assigned, but you are responsible to make up
ALL
classwork you miss.
Check THE DAY YOU RETURN to see what you
need to do.
Any worksheets will be placed in the "White Box." It is your
responsibility to look in the box and pick up this
work. Make-up assignments
must be done on YOUR time.
I will be happy to schedule time to help you
before or after school (or at lunch if
necessary). You will have 3 days after
your
return from an absence to complete missed
assignments.
After that, they become late work.
If you have a long-term
illness, please see me for special make-up
arrangements. Make-up papers, as well
as other assignments, go in your period’s slot
in the “stack” on the file cabinet.
TEXTBOOKS:
Textbooks
will be checked out to you. They are to
be kept, and brought to
class every day in the protective cover provided.
YOU MAY NOT WRITE IN
THE
TEXT OR WORKBOOK. USE NOTEBOOK PAPER FOR ALL
ASSIGNMENTS FROM
BOOKS! Be very careful with texts to
avoid
charges for loss or damage.
(Be sure to save all Japanese handouts.
There
is no text for this unit, so you will need your
handouts to study for tests.)
5
points extra credit if you and your parent read, sign and return this
paper by your second day of class..
