You will complete different activities from the Contraseña site, consisting of videos, grammar exercises, listening and writing practice, etc. You are responsible for completing all the assigned activities. There will be assignments due on several days during the week. Your teacher will NOT remind you on due dates. It is your responsibility to check on the Calendar in Contraseña DAILY to know what is due.
Each unit/chapter begins with the Unit Goal: what you will accomplish by the end of the unit. Learning Objectives appear at the top of each section to remind you what you will learn in that section and represent one of the pieces needed to complete the Proyecto.
On your own, you complete independent preparation for each section of a unit.
In Preparar: you watch animated videos that explain concepts, read brief texts, and complete activities to check your comprehension.
In Aplicar, you practice what you learned and complete self-checks.
In Comprobar, you evaluate your learning.
In Práctica adicional, you can practice as much as you want before you do the Comprobar exercise. Práctica adicional is optional and does not count for course grade
This independent work prepares you for Conversar, the engaging pair and group activities (communicative practice) where you put the language into practice with your peers. We will do these activities in class.
