The main goal this year is for you to be able to describe yourself in Spanish.The total worth of the Spanish 1 Authentic Assessment is 80 points. The grade for the project will be divided into several parts with the final product being worth 30 points. As with any long-term project, it is important that you follow the calendar and meet the established deadlines. All work must be handed in by the due date and the grade for that work will be incorporated into your final grade for the project.
BENCHMARKS FOR THE FINAL PROJECT

For the first part of the project, you are going to choose a famous person and write a description of that person that is at least 15 sentences.
PART 2: (24 pts)Due Date: Mid-April
For the second part of the project, you will prepare an oral presentation of one minute in which you do the following:
- Bring in at least 10 pictures of things that you like to do
- Discuss in Spanish what you like to do, why you like to do those things, and when you do them
- Use pictures as cues to prompt you during your presentation
PART 3: (6 pts)Due Date: Beginning of May
For the third part of the project, you will complete a basic outline of your presentation in Spanish. An outline will be provided to you for your planning.
FINAL PROJECT: (30 pts)Due date: Mid-May
After combining all of the skills you have acquired from class this year and the first three parts of the Authentic Assessment, you will be ready to give a five-minute presentation all about you. In your Power Point presentation, “¿Quién soy yo?” please be sure to include the following:
- a self-description
- facts about your family
- your likes/dislikes
- your responsibilities at home and at school
- what you expect your life to be like in the future
- what you do in your free time
Remember your presentation must be at least five minutes long and of course, all in Spanish. You must have at least fifteen slides, which contain information on the topics above.
¡OJO! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRESENTING AND READIING!!
Please keep in mind the difference between speaking to the class, and reading to the class. Your Power Point should have little to no text in it. You should be able to look at your slide and use it to speak in elaborate sentences in front of the class. For example, your slide might have under “gustos” examples of things you like (me gusta el chocolate, me gusta la música rock), but then when you talk about that slide, you will also mention why you like them, or if other people you know like them, etc. What little text you have on your slide is to be used to prompt you.
