Here are some tips and suggestions to implement the assessments.

Prep:

• Download and print the assessments you want to use from the main unit page.
• Create your own assessment using the blank template in the download.
• Optional: Include a rubric on the back.

Proficiency Goal

Show the rubric and/or give them one. Remind them of their proficiency goal on the rubric and what it takes to get it.

Ask them to circle their proficiency goal on the rubric or on the top of their assessment when they get it.

Assessments

Have them remove all resources.

Give them the assessment (download on main unit page). Go over any parts of it that you want to clarify.

On purpose, intermediate assessments may not have the “planning” part completed on the assessment. This is so THEY can think/plan what they will want to include. Use the lines under the scenario or another paper.

Let them shine!

INTERPRETIVE READING TO PRESENTATIONAL WRITING

First let them read the messages from Santiago and have them circle how much they understood as a quick self-reflection.

Then give them the text message response sheet (message bubble with the lines) to respond to Santiago. They may need additional sheet to respond to all the questions.

Bonus: Can they figure out where Santiago is from? (Hint: Flag in profile image, slang used)

INTERPERSONAL SPEAKING

This was created for you to be the manager. The application is intentionally in English and they can reference that when they come to the “interview.”

There is a script for you. Adapt as needed based on the position they are applying for. You do not have to ask every question.

Extention Idea: Let them find and bring a job posting with them.

PRESENTATIONAL SPEAKING

Decide how much prep time they have to create these videos or to do live in front of the class.

Variation: Let them be in small groups like a panel. Let the other students be the exchange students to ask the questions for each person to respond to.

Community Connection: Contact a real exchange program to see if this can really be done.

PRESENTATIONAL WRITING

Encourage them to pick a unique theme like they saw in the “want to do/bucket list” lesson. (Things for a rainy day, Sports, Things to meet new friends, etc)

This assessment could be extended into a project. The “draft” is due immediately and you assess that. Then they can improve it through feedback (from you, peers and self) and actually create it.

Suggestion: They could format it like a “listicle” (list + article) with pictures, titles and the paragraphs.

Reflection: Essential Question

Show the essential questions and have them reflect using resources from the Reflection Day page.
