Grading Rubrics
Attendance and participation, behavior in class, homework completion, project preparation
and presentation, and performance in quizzes.
Homework:
Students should check regularly the Spanish 1 class website to find their assigned
homework: http://cdsspanish1.weebly.com/
ABSOLUTELY NO LATE HOMEWORK is accepted!
All assignments are to be kept in a 3 ring binder, so that the student can review them daily,
and also for quiz/test preparation. The binder can be collected at any time, so students need
to keep their homework, class notes, in-class assignments, handouts, quizzes, and tests wellorganized in their binders.
If a student is absent and therefore fails to present an assignment, a make up is typically
required. It is the students responsibility to arrange the make-up with the teacher within the
allotted time span. (This time span is usually two days for every day absent, with exceptions
for unusual circumstances verified by parental contact or a doctors note).
Participation & Attendance: Every day we have class, each student has the opportunity to
obtain 1 point for Participation & Attendance. By the end of the week, I will be putting
students grades on Powerschool. Students are graded on their daily participation &
attendance. It is absolutely necessary for each student to be participative, engaged and
responsive while the class is on. I expect students to raise hands and ask questions, to come
to the board, to share opinions and talk with classmates in SPANISH. Learning a language
means SPEAKING it and USING it (reading, listening and writing) as much and as frequent
as possible. Participation grades will be assigned based on effort, overall command of the
language, pronunciation, attitude and behavior in class. Students will be practicing more
independent learning in Spanish during this term.
Project and Oral Presentations: Given that the class has an emphasis on developing
communicative skills in Spanish, students will be required to give an oral presentation. This
will be graded on pronunciation, fluency, grammatical structure and content.
Students will prepare a project during Term #3 and will be asked to give an oral presentation
about it. The project will cover cultural aspects of the Spanish-speaking countries.
The project will be explained on our class website: http://cdsspanish1.weebly.com/
Quizzes and Exams: approximately every 7 days of class, depending on the rhythm of each
group, students will be taking a short quiz. Students are expected to study for the quiz, and to
pass it with good grade, as the GPA will be depending on students effort. There will be a final
Test on Term #3 which will be covering everything learned during term #3.
