Mrs. Dowling's Classroom Procedures Home General Class Information Procedures are a part of life. We follow procedures for using a telephone book, boarding an airplane, approaching a traffic light, and attending a wedding. The reason that we have procedures in life is so that people can function in society knowing the acceptable and efficient way other people do things. The following are procedures for this classroom. These procedures establish our classroom culture. What do I do if I forget my pencil or paper? First, you are unprepared. You will receive a strike If, however, you have a Dowling Dollar, you may purchase a pencil without getting a strike. This must be done BEFORE class officially starts..during Bell Work time. What do I do when I come in the room? Sharpen pencils (if you need to). You may NOT sharpen pencils during instruction time. Get your supplies out. All classes will start with a warm-up activity (Bell Work) each day. LA will have "Caught Yas" on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Fridays, you will be expected to turn in your homework packet.

Highly recommended: Course description: This course is designed to strengthen the language skills learned in the basic language sequence. As indicated in the title of the course, we will focus primarily on grammar and writing, with special attention paid to the aspects of the Spanish language which are most difficult to master. The goal is to help students move toward fluency in Spanish. All students should markedly improve in the four skills areaswriting, reading, speaking, and understandingthat comprise functional fluency in the target language. Native Spanish speakers also will benefit from the intense focus on writing and grammar in the course. This is a required course for the Spanish major, but minors and Education majors traditionally comprise a large portion of its enrollment. This class is conducted in Spanish, and students are expected to speak Spanish at all times. Cultural as well as linguistic literacy will be emphasized.
