Información de los "Retakes"

Adjectives Listening Quiz:
  1. If you earned a grade lower than an AD, you may retake.
  2. If you earned a grade lower than a PR, you should retake.
  3. You will need to go through the Request to Retest Process to get that opportunity.
  4. Pick up a green Request to Retest sheet from the basket in Sra. Moore's room.
  5. Fill out the top portion and then check to see if you're missing any homework assignments. You can do this by going on to Infinite Campus and clicking on your Spanish class, then Effort/Practice. You'll see a list of your practice assignments and either a green "Turned in" or a red "Missing." Any work that is missing needs to be completed first.
  6. Then, you're going to focus on improving your understanding of adjectives and their forms based on gender and quantity. Use the strategies from the "Practice Ideas for Adjectives Listening Quiz" below to help you.
  7. When you feel you've improved, you can staple any completed late work, evidence of the extra practice you did, and the original quiz. Finish filling out the bottom and give the packet to Sra. Moore or Srta. Hahn.
