Tutoring & online resources:

Tutoring: 

• Mondays until 4:30

• There will also be peer tutoring opportunities through Spanish Club. Feel free to reach out to me for more information. 

If you would like to hire a tutor, check out Sra. Hunter's Help Desk. Corey has 15 years of teaching experience and used to teach Spanish at Mann. 

Online dictionary: WordReference (use of Google Translate is not permitted)

Extra practice:

• I usually post practice activities for each new grammar topic under "Extra Practice" on my website. Most of these activities come from StudySpanish.com and Colby.edu, both of which I highly recommend.  

• Duolingo: This is a free app that approaches language learning like a game. It is both fun and effective! I recommend Duolingo especially for students who feel the need to brush up on the basics. 

• Babbel: Students have recommended this site as a useful tool to review basic grammar & vocabulary.

Grades: 

I update the gradebook in PowerSchool every few days. This is a great way to keep up with your child’s progress as well as see if he/she has any missing assignments.

• Major grades (tests & projects): 60%

• Minor grades (quizzes, short writing assignments, etc.): 30%

• Homework grades (homework, classwork): 10%

Extra credit: The World Language Department generally does not offer extra credit assignments. Students are responsible for keeping up with their work throughout the term. 

JL Mann Late Work Policy: 

Updated policy due to absences: A student with an excused absence may make up assignments and assessments given on the day(s) they were absent.

• • If the student was absent for one day, they have one day to submit assignments completed or due the day they were absent.

  • If the student was absent for multiple days, they have up to five days to submit assignments completed or due during their absence.

  • Teachers may opt to lengthen make-up time for unusual circumstances.

See below for the policy on missed work NOT due to an absence:
