Italian


Italian is a class i am looking forward to this year. I am Italian so i like to learn how to speak it and the heritage. The teacher of this class is Ms. Iannacco. Ms. Iannacco is in her second year at WRHS. Ms. Iannacco is Italian herself and is very familiar with the language, and in fact has been to Italy. Ms. Iannacco class is very fun and sometimes we learn with hands on activities like throwing the ball around the room and when you get it you have to say a certain word that pertains to the lesson in Italian.
    Last year our Italian class took a trip to the opera in NYC, i myself didn't go on it because i didn't want to miss a day of school, however my friends went and said it was a great experience. Hopefully Ms. Iannacco has something fun to do this year just like last year. In this class i honestly learn a lot of Italian I am currently in Italian 3 and i'm aware that it is going to be a challenge but i know that Ms. I will equip us with the knowledge we need to pass the course.
     In this class we really use so much technology. Every night we are assigned homework on Vhl central which is an educational website for learning language. In class we also watch Italian videos on youtube or Vhl central.The grading policy in this class according to my syllabus is very normal. 40% formal assessments, 40% performance based assessments, 10% informal assessments, and 10% classroom participation and homework. I am looking forward to this year and i'm sure it will be a good one.Check Ms. Iannacco's website out .
