Classwork is due in class and may not be turned in late; students may receive partial credit if they have
not completed their classwork when checked. Homework is given in class and turned in the next class
day at the beginning of class. Late homework will not be accepted. Students will need to actively
participate during corrections and discussions. Projects will be accepted late following the school’s
Late Project Policy. Plagiarism is a serious offense and consequences in college often include course
failure and school expulsion. The Honor Code will be strictly enforced for daily work and projects. Class
rules will be presented the first week of class and will be strictly enforced in order to maximize efficient
use of class time.

Course Description
Spanish 2 provides mastery and expansion of basic skills acquired by the students in Spanish
1. Specific content includes, but is not limited to, expansions of vocabulary and conversational
skills through discussions of selected readings. Contemporary vocabulary stresses activities
which are important to the everyday life of the target language-speaking people.
Students will review basic grammar and vocabulary before engaging in new material. Although
material taught in Spanish 1 will be reviewed, it will not be re-taught. Students are responsible
for ensuring they have a solid foundation by always reviewing new and old vocabulary and
grammar. Students will participate in a variety of activities to optimize learning. These activities
will strengthen their communication skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and
writing.
