INTEGRATED PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

CAPÍTULO 4

Unit Theme: ¿Cómo te llevas con los demás?

Context for the Integrated Performance Assessment: The Spanish language newspaper in your community wants to recognize good people and good deeds. For that reason the newspaper is sponsoring an essay contest for students in local Spanish classes. The topic of the essay for your year is “A Special Teenager,” for which students are asked to describe the special qualities and good deeds of a teenager they know and admire.
Interpretive Task: Listen to several students as they talk about their friends on Realidades 3, Audio CD 5, Track 3 and their friends’ special qualities. (Don’t worry about the directions given on the CD itself. Use these directions instead.) Think about a teenager you know and admire and take notes as you hear something that describes him/her. Write down 2 more qualities that you admire and what he/she does as an example of each quality.
Interpersonal Task: Discuss the teenager’s qualities with a partner in Spanish class and listen to your partner’s description. Continue to talk about the person until you have more qualities and examples. Identify one very special thing that the teenager has done for his/her family, in school, or in the community.
Presentational Task: Write the essay for the contest. Convince the judges that your nominee deserves to be named “A Special Teenager” because of his/her qualities and what he/she does at home, in school, and in the community.
