Late Work:

Turn in your work on or before the deadline..

Work turned in on time = max 100
Work turned in 1 day late = max 70
Work turned in 2 to 5 days late = max 50
Work turned in 6 or more days late = 0

Absences:

Check with Google Classroom, if it is possible, finish the work online and speak with me before or after school or email me for more details and other work.

Being absent 1 day allows you 2 days to get all your make-up work done/turned in/etc. If you are absent 2 days, then you will have 3 days to complete and turn-in make-up work, and so on. It is the STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITY to take care of missing assignments, tests and quizzes. Mrs. Smith will not hunt you down to get it done.

Sr. Jordan's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3I2scc15jBct61vlxt3zcw Here you can find lots of videos on grammar and vocabulary topics you will see in Spanish 1 and 2.	Notes in Spanish-Beginners http://www.notesinspanish.com/category/beginners-podcast/ These are Wonderful podcasts! They are challenging and are meant to be listened to more than once each. They teach real, authentic language. (Yes, I'm aware that was redundant... and repetitive. ;)	Best Site to Translate http://www.wordreference.com/ Word Reference is a great resource for when you are stuck needing a translation. Google translate is horrible! It's absolutely HORRIBLE! Students who use Google translate almost always get worse grades than students who don't use any resources at all.
