Criterios de evaluación y de calificación:
En 2º de BACHILLERATO, la nota de cada uno de los trimestres se obtiene de la suma de los siguientes porcentajes:
o    Trabajo Personal:                                                                              10%
o   Oral/Proyecto                                                                                              10%
o    Libro de lectura                                                                                 10%
o    Examen texto PAU (50%)
Examen gramática + vocabulario + Listening (50%):                                                                                                                                                    70%
Ø   Si la media de cualquiera de las pruebas objetivas es menor de 4, la calificación de la evaluación será de INSUFICIENTE.
Ø   En la 3ª evaluación no habrá Reading Book y este 10% se asignará al valor de los exámenes, otorgándoles un 80% de la notal final.
Ø   La nota final de junio se calculará siguiendo este porcentaje: 10%-1ª evaluación,      20%- 2ª evaluación y 70%-3ª evaluación.

Ø   Si se sobrepasa el 25 % de faltas de asistencia injustificadas dentro de una evaluación, supondrá la pérdida del derecho a la evaluación continua en dicha evaluación. Los alumnos que concurran en dicha situación tendrán derecho a un examen único que evalúe sus conocimientos. Dicha prueba única no superará en ningún caso el valor que se haya establecido para los exámenes en la correspondiente evaluación continua y como así esté especificado en la programación (distribución de los porcentajes referidos a las calificaciones). En el caso de 2º Bachillerato, la nota de dicha prueba corresponderá al 70% de la nota final. Para poder optar al 30% restante, el alumno tendrá que entregar los trabajos que el profesor estime oportunos.

Procedimientos para la recuperación:

En la evaluación del aprendizaje de un idioma se valorará la capacidad del alumno por incluir en sus trabajos lo aprendido en el aula de forma progresiva y acumulativa.No se realizarán, por tanto, recuperaciones de partes de la asignatura al entender que en una lengua hay que demostrar un conocimiento global y no sólo de alguno de sus aspectos.

MATERIALES DIDACTICOS (libros de texto y otra documentación):
Libro de texto:   Access 2º Bac, Burlington Books.
                             Libro de alumno
Libros de lectura:   The boy in the Striped pijamas.  John Boyne


Normas a cumplir:
Ø  Puntualidad.
Ø  No se corregirán exámenes o ejercicios a lápiz, sin nombre o sucios. Se dará mucha importancia a la limpieza y presentación de los ejercicios.
Ø  No se recogerá ningún trabajo o ejercicio fuera de la fecha establecida.
Ø  Los ejercicios que hayan sido copiados, especialmente los textos PAU, obtendrán calificación 0 y no se podrán volver a realizar. Si el ejercicio fuera un examen, suspendería automáticamente la evaluación.
Ø  Es obligatorio presentarse a todas las partes evaluables. En caso de no poder realizar algún examen, éste no se repetirá sin un justificante médico o de los padres.

Ø  Es obligatorio traer el material didáctico a clase, así como el que sea requerido por los profesores.
