I hope that everyone is doing well during these times. As Mr. Martin clarified in his e-mail yesterday, students in all classes will be more rigorously learning online. This may look different in different classes, but I want to make things as simple as possible. In my class, students need to complete two assignments per week. Both assignments can be found on the calendario and need to be completed by 10:00 am on Fridays.
The first assignment is a mandatory check-in with feedback. Students are familiar with the repaso de la meta during the in-school school year, and this is quite similar so that they can give me their feedback on the work and if there’s anything else that they would like to share. The second assignment will be a Google Forms activity that will comprise of vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening activities.
As we are not teaching any “new material,” in my class we will continue to focus on skills practiced in the classroom. This will include continued practice of the present (Spanish 1) / past (Spanish 2) tense, practice previous vocabulary, and one new unit of vocabulary/authentic (reading/listening) activities. As these are the activities that students have done all year, I do not anticipate much difficulty.
If there is any difficulty that students need clarification on, my first suggestion is to write me an e-mail, as many students have already been doing. I will e-mail you back very quickly during the “school day” and I will do my best to do so afterwards at a reasonable time.
If there is a problem or a concept that cannot be explained or understood via a simple e-mail, the school has created a Google Meet schedule for teachers to be available. All teachers will be following the same schedule. That schedule follows below:
Monday/Wednesday
Period 1: 1:00-1:40
Period 2: 1:40-2:20
Period 3: 2:20-3:00
Tuesday/Thursday
Period 4: 1:00-1:40
Period 5: 1:40-2:20
Period 6: 2:20-3:00
Again, I understand that this is a lot of new information and this will all probably feel very overwhelming for students as you have six other classes to do the same in. The first week to get used to this new schedule, the first assignment will not be too difficult to complete and will mainly focus on understanding the new online class requirements. And again, I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy.
