Spanish 1 w/ Señor Hall at NCVPS
Updates from Señor Hall for Spanish 1
Spanish 1 Ends this Friday, January 10th
Happy New Year!
Sadly, this will be my final Smore newsletter as our course ends this Friday. We are finishing up all incomplete work in the course and submitting the Final Exam & Final Project. Please dig deep and finish strong. Also seek out any incomplete work and finish those assignments as this can really help improve a low grade. Final Grades will be available early next week. It has been a pleasure working with y'all this semester and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Final Project & Exam
For Spanish 1, students must complete BOTH the Final Exam and Final Project to receive full credit. These 2 assignments are CRUCIAL as they are 20% of the student's final grade in the course.
Grade Calculations ~ Las calculaciones de notas

- Participation (GS Unit, eLinguafolio, RLCs) 10%

Required Live Class (RLC) Schedule
The purpose of the Required Live Classes (RLC) is to give students access to their teachers for lessons, Q & A and support in their Spanish classes. The RLC sessions are offered every week at a variety of times. You may attend any session you like. Choose the one that best fits your schedule.
Here is a Google Calendar link to all the Spanish 1 sessions:
Just pay attention to the times, dates and topics:
Remember GS = Getting Started
U1 = Unit 1
U2 = Unit 2
After attending each session, you need to complete a brief reflective assignment including the following items:
When did you attend (provide date and time)?
Who was the teacher/presenter?
What did you cover/learn? (You should include a complete copy of your notes with at least 10 specific things discussed/covered.)
What do you still have questions about? (You should always have questions, so do NOT put "none.")
What do you need to work on/improve? (This should be specific, regarding at least one thing that was discussed in the session.)
How do you plan to improve in the area/s listed above? (Again, be as specific as possible.)
How can I (your teacher) help you? (Again, be as specific as possible.)
Please use COMPLETE SENTENCES in your responses and submit this at the bottom of the RLC Assignment page.
