Here are some suggestions:

1. If you have problems with homework assignments, tests, quizzes, or derivatives of vocabulary; have concerns about the class; or need individual interaction...
    
   Call or e-mail me using the toll-free number: 1.800.333.9764 (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ET) or check out and watch videotape(s) made available by the facilitator of this class.
    
2. Keep up with assignments when you miss class for any reason-sickness, appointments, early dismissal, school assemblies, sports events, snow days, teacher's workdays, holidays, etc. The student will be responsible for having completed the assignment on the day he or she returns to class, except in very extreme circumstances that will be determined by the facilitator. Refer to the Homework Assignments List included in this guide.
    
   Be sure to check out and watch videotape(s) of the day(s) missed to review class material.
    
3. Read aloud to family members the Latin chapter stories and English translations.
    
4. Have your family members work with you on the vocabulary flashcards.
    
5. Reread textbook explanations and class notes for concepts you find difficult.
    
6. Work with friends on homework assignments and to review for tests. Call flashcards to each other and practice charts. If you have a few extra minutes before the beginning of the lesson or at the end, use this time to practice with a partner.
    
7. If you are taking Latin I as a block semester class, you will need to keep up and not fall behind, which may require taking the videotapes home, especially if you have missed class for a school scheduled event. Refer to the Homework Assignment List and work ahead of your schedule. The chapter vocabularies and story translations are done much in the same manner throughout the textbook. These two chapter components are vital to learning the grammatical materials needed to work with the exercises and activities.
    
8. The requirements for completion of Latin I, whether full year or block schedule, are to finish through Chapter 27. These materials include:
   • Class Instruction (set of videotapes): through Lesson 160
   • Tests #1 - #11
   • 4 required projects (test grades)
   • All graded Quaestiones
   • Homework through Lesson 150
   • Classwork
   
   Therefore, all Latin I students must complete these materials. In cases of emergencies, such as an unusual number of calamity days, the facilitator must contact the teacher to learn what may be done for students to complete Latin I. Latin II begins with a review of the material presented in Latin I, assuming you have completed through Chapter 27.

REMEMBER: In a distance learning class, the responsibility to get help with difficult material lies totally with you. If you do not make the effort to ask, you will simply get more behind.
