¡BIENVENIDOS A LA CLASE DE ESPAÑOL!
Welcome to my homework site and to “Exprésate II". Homework Hero is the site you visit to see weekly classroom activities and homework assignments. Come back often during the week and plan your schedule effectively.


Students are enrolled in a high school course. In order to receive credit for this course, they have to successfully pass the course along with a mid-term exam given after the second quarter, and a final exam given at the end of the school year.

Spanish II will reinforce and enhance previously acquired basic skills in Spanish I. It will continue developing communicative skills and cross-cultural understanding. The students will increase their listening, reading, writing and oral skills. They will work in small groups on a variety of activities, and will make oral presentations individually and in groups using the vocabulary and grammatical patterns they learn. Successful completion of this course results in one High School credit.

Preparation - Bring your notebook, extra loose-leaf paper, pen/pencil to class everyday. Study everyday for at least 20 minutes. Practice the material learned in class. Don't wait for a quiz or a test. Make flashcards and practice at home. Use the links from my site at www.homeworkhero.com.

Responsibility- LISTEN! Listen to your teacher, pay attention, ask questions if you don't understand. Do homework daily. The assignments are a follow up from the material studied in class. This will help you remember them when you go back to class.

Integrity - Do your own work. Do not depend on other people's work. Be honest.

Dedication - Speak as much Spanish as you can. Speaking a foreign language is a skill, and developing a skill requires practice. The more you participate, the faster your speaking skill will improve. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Study at least 20 minutes per day. You will find other useful links at my site, for example, www.quia.com. Use your resources.

Effort- ASK for help if you need it. Don't wait until the day of the quiz/test.
