All of my tests have a listening, reading, and writing portion. You are given the whole period to complete a test. If you have extra time, you are of course allotted that time as well. 

Please do not forget to study on Quizlet (quizlet.com/laguardiaAL). Once you have clicked on the link, please click on "classes" and then select "Español 1/2". This way you will not be confused with my Italian flashcard sets. I will be putting up more flashcards after this post for you all!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me. We will be reviewing this coming week and I am going to try and get us a computer lab reservation. I will update you on that in class. 

¡Buena Suerte!

Once you are logged in, click on the first book that you see (the red edition of ¡Exprésate!). Usually, assignments will be from the Vocabulario y gramática section. Then you will find chapters and page numbers. 

This may be accessed from home or at school. When homework is assigned in the textbook, it is expected that you print or hand write your homework and bring it in to class the next day. Studies have proven that hand writing is better for language processing for most language learners, but whether you handwrite or type your homework is up to you.
