Publisher: Nelson Thomson
Year: 1997
Use foreign language workbooks, audio/video tapes and other teacher resource
materials which accompany the adopted texts as appropriate.
Grades
The grade that a student receives in this course will
be a reflection of how the student has performed in
two areas: the assimilation and the acquisition of
performances skills. These performance skills are referenced
in the approved Japanese I curriculum and its appendix.
The course grade will be calculated from scores obtained
on unit tests, projects and activities (reading, writing,
listening and oral language production), homework,
and a semester final. Progress reports should provide
the student and parents with information (average grades
or percentages) in three main areas: unit tests, projects/activities,
and homework completed.
The final is also the End of Course Exam (EOC), which
will count as 10% of the student’s final grade
and determine whether or not the student has met the
State Standards in Humanities for this particular course.
It will consist of a portfolio which includes written
and verbal student responses and a written exam evaluating
listening, grammatical and reading proficiencies.
