If students miss class (and the absence is marked "excused" ), they can make up the missed activity grade by interacting in the target language by: 1) Reading something comprehensible to you in the target language for a certain amount of time in Academic Lab, 2) Watching one Alice Ayel story listening video from season 1 or season 2 and writing a summary of that story in English for each class period missed. (The video must be at least 4 minutes in duration.)
The completed make-up in-class activity counts for 9/10 of the grade for that day. Why? It is impossible to interact if you are not in class, so the daily in-class activity grade for a missed class period is zero (0).
If the absence is marked "unexcused," students will NOT be allowed to make up this activity grade. The zero will remain in the grade book.
