Academic Topics • Attendance is important, esp. on the block system! • Every student should come prepared to participate in class every day (book, notebook / paper, writing utensil). • Active participation in classroom instruction is the best way to learn and retain the curriculum.
Academic Topics • Students will have small assessments regularly throughout the semester, and a few large assessments interspersed. • Homework is minimal, but students should spend 10 – 15 minutes daily reviewing their vocabulary lists, grammar notes and culture topics.
Grading System • Grades are divided into Georgia Performance Standards categories as listed in the syllabus. • Small assessments (quizzes, some projects) occur on a regular basis and are worth approx. 15 – 30 pts. • Larger test assessments occur in Latin I at the end of larger units.
