They include EVERYTHING we have done in class (writing, reading, grammar, vocabulary and listening) and the average mark for all the exams must be 4 in order to pass. Don't forget that you will also have an oral exam each term. And of course, the contents of each unit are cumulative.
Writings and homework: After each unit you will have to hand in a writing. If you give it to me after the deadline, you will get 1 point less for every delayed day. You must take care of your notebook as I will have a look twice each term. Remember that you must copy the Student's Book activities in the notebook.
Extra points: +0.25 points for Speaking. I will add these extra points to your final mark if you always try to talk to me in English inside and outside the classroom.

extra activities.
When you hand in a writing your starting mark is always an excellent. Then, I correct your writing and I discount all the mistakes you do.
This is how you get your final mark (EXCELLENT - GREAT - GOOD - PASS - FAIL). I will give you back the writing with some remarks and corrections, you will get a better mark if you repeat again the writing without mistakes.
