Welcome to Spanish 5AP!
This course has been designed to prepare you for taking the Spanish Advanced Placement Exam in May and/or
the Michigan Seal of Biliteracy Exam in April.
Tip to help you be successful:
1. Turn your work in on time.
- I do not assign a lot of homework in this class, but when I do be sure to get it done on time.
2. Do not multitask in class.
-I do know that you have other classes, therefore, I do not assign a lot of homework, but expect you to give me 100% in class.
3. Speak Spanish ALL the time!
-The students who try to speak Spanish 90-100% of the time in class always do better on the exam!
- Speaking Spanish with mistakes is better than slipping into English when you don’t know something.
4. Expose yourself to Spanish outside the classroom.
- Students who listen to Spanish podcasts, music, and watch Spanish speaking programs on their own are more likely to do
better on the exam.
