Repaso para el Examen Final

De Español 7

 

 

Expectations

 

Most of you were already familiar, to one extent or another, with the vocabulary and concepts that we worked on this semester.  As stated many times during the course, you were expected to build on that knowledge and eliminate basic mistakes.  I have also stressed the importance of being able to use correct and varied vocabulary and expressions in conversations.  Please be sure to review that different ways of meeting, greeting, addressing, requesting, recommending, inviting, refusing, and making excuses in social situations. 

 

I expect each of you to be able to recognize when a subjunctive is necessary and be able to set the sentence up correctly.  

 

I expect each of you to be able to give a series of directions without mixing up the forms of the verbs…tu/ud/uds. etc and to see that most of the commands are correct, whether negative or affirmative OR IRREGULAR.

 

I expect you to be able to describe someone’s daily routine using reflexives when necessary but not making every sentence reflexive no matter what. 

 

I expect to see you put the right verb ending on basic verbs and not mix up –Ar, -Er and –Ir endings.

 

I expect you to match your nouns and adjectives.  If you are describing your mother, the adjectives should be feminine.

 

I expect you NOT to rely on English to get your point across.

 

I expect you to show me that your Spanish is better now than it was in September.

Evaluation

 

 

 

Grading of both the oral and short answer essay sections of the final will be based on a rubric as follows:

 

 

Outstanding (5):  Student has mastered the concepts presented in the class.  Shows a great deal of control of the grammatical topics and has an extensive vocabulary that covers a variety of areas and social interactions.  There are virtually no mistakes with the elements covered in class this semester, especially with irregular forms.

 

Very Good (4):  Student demonstrates good control of the grammar and vocabulary with which we worked this semester.  Uses the new vocabulary and structures introduced in class instead of relying on previously learned material.  May still make some mistakes with more advanced irregular structures, but regular and high frequency forms are correct.

 

Adequate (3):  Student is still working on control of the concepts and grammar of the course but demonstrates a general understanding.  Relies on previously learned material although introduction of new expressions and structures is present if not completely accurate.  High frequency and basic structures are correct although there are errors with irregular forms.  Frequent errors distract the reader and the writing requires effort for interpretation.

 

Reduced (2):  Student demonstrates little control of the concepts of the course.  There are significant errors in even the most basic sentences and expressions. Uses elementary vocabulary and even regular forms, high frequency structures and previously learned material contain mistakes.  Difficult to comprehend or deduce meaning.

 

Below grade level(1):  Unacceptable, inappropriate or completely incomprehensible.
