Spelling, punctuation, and accent mark count toward grading.  Misspelled, wrong tense, wrong form of verbal conjugation, article, or preposition (- full points worth). Missing accents from the words you have been exposed to during the chapter, punctuation–periods, capital letters, upside-down exclamation or question marks–If needed (-1/4 points).   Accent Marks Please write me a short message, in parenthesis, next to the word that needs it, for instance: You need to write  ¡Mi mamá comprará el juguete mañana para Iván! You will write it like (upside-down exclamation mark) Mi mama (accent on the 2nd a) comprara (accent on the second a) el juguete manana (tilde over the 1st n) para Ivan (accent on a)! Notice that when there is more than one repeated vowel/consonant, I used more details on which vowel/consonant the accent mark was placed–mamá, mañana, etc. Unlike the name “Ivan” which has one accentuated vowel.   Directions: You will be given an English word.
