I wanted to share the assessment that I am giving my students tomorrow. This is what I would consider a "week 1" assessment for those of you that are familiar with my Two Week Model. I am basically checking in to see if they have gotten the basics needed to continue towards are bigger communicative goal for next week.
This week, the goal was to be able to identify the correct person based on their description (in Spanish). In order to do that, we needed to be familiar with a variety of adjectives and know how to match them to the people or things they describe. This is a Spanish 2 class, so they are theoretically familiar with some adjectives already from Spanish 1. The words we are studying now are a combination of some of the more important or common adjectives from Spanish 1 with new words to describe personality traits and nationalities added for Spanish 2.
Next week, we will delve a bit deeper into this material as the focus becomes being able to describe yourself and others in both writing and speaking. This Friday's assessment will allow me to see what I need to really focus on next week to get them ready to meet this goal.
Here is the assessment:
