SPANISH LAB SUMMER COURSE

· SCHEDULE 

 Schedule: Please follow this schedule for readings and online activities. This is posted in blackboard and will be updated periodically. 
Studying the chapter and Online activities: for fully online classes (this one) you have 2 attempts to answer or complete most activities (But for Quizzes you only get one attempt). You highest score of the two will be recorded as your grade for the activity. I highly recommend that you follow the schedule and study the readings in the eBook/book chapters first and then proceed to complete activities in myspanishlab. Some of the activities assigned online/myspanishlab are the same that you will find in the e/book. These activities appear in a calendar in myspanishlab that clearly shows the material due each day before midnight.
We will dedicate aprox.1 week to each chapter. 
I will add the dates below for each chapter . If you have access to the material you can start by reading and studying chapter 1.

Chapter 1 Summer 

 CHAPTER 1 
 Read chapter 1 and complete the activities in myspanishlab, follow this schedule please:  At the beginning of each section in the chapter you will find a vocabulary lesson that you need to learn: here you should try to memorize and associate words with things to help you remember their meaning. These are followed by “Estructuras” or Grammar: these require practice using the activities in the ebook that accompany the lesson.  The last two pages or part of the chapter (and in the next 3 chapters), are the culture section. Read it carefully, these are mostly for reading comprehension. All chapters follow the same pattern.
 FOR EVERY WEEK  you get a schedule in BB detailing the study plan (See below) and the pages that we are covering. But the activities that you need to complete and submit are in the calendar in myspanishlab.
 JUNE 20-25 
 From June 20- 22 

Read pages 2-19.  After you read and study these pages during JUNE 20 and 21, go to myspanishlab and complete the activities assigned in the calendar, these are due on June 22. 
 From June 23 to 25:
Read pages 20--35. After you read and study these pages during June 23 and 24, go to myspanishlab and complete the activities assigned in the calendar: activities due JUNE 25. The same pattern continues for all weeks, just see the corresponding activities in myspanishlab and complete them on time.
This applies to all chapters: Activities in myspanishlab are always due Thursday and Sunday. (Monday we take a break).Please notice that during the time that you spend reading and studying the lessons (vocabulary, grammar and culture lessons) on these pages, you will find several activities that you need to complete for your own benefit and in order to practice the material.  That is why I give you to full days to study before the activities are due in myspanishlab.
Very Important: Also, most online activities in myspanishlab  provide information (page number in the ebook or lesson title) about the lessons related to it in the book. You can always go back and review the lessons. I will provide guidance too.
Still NEED HELP WITH A LESSON? This fully online courses require a strong commitment from you as a student, as I explained in the announcement section, but there are many resources to help you. 1) While you study the pages assigned each week check out the online tutorials in myspanishlab if you have doubts, these contain very complete explanations of each lesson.  2) I’m also available to help you out.
CHAPTER 2: information for other chapters will be added periodically. This information will follow the same pattern, but I don’t repeat all the details provided here, just the dates you need to follow.
