Reminder: Winter Break
Welcome to Week 18 of the course! Jan. 4 - 8, 2015
Welcome to the final week of the course, week 18 – Jan. 4 through 8. This week students are completing the final exam listening/reading, final project, and the final RLC if they did not already attend it the week before break.
There is a total of 3 graded assignments this week (including the RLC, which students may have already attended the week before break). Please see the list of assignments below for this week:
Proyecto Final de Español III:
**Preparing for your Final Project - Required Live Class** - (during week 17 or week 18)
_____ Examen Final de Español III
_____ Proyecto Final de Español III
**The final 3 assignments must be turned in by
1.8.16 to go on your report card. At 11:55 pm on the date above, the course will close and any incomplete final exams/projects will be calculated as 0s.**
Final Projects
- Quarter 1: 37.5%
- Quarter 2: 37.5%
- Final Project: 25%
It is extremely important that students are paying attention to the requirements for this project and including all of the required pieces in the project since it counts so much towards their semester grade. Students have struggled during the semester with not including required elements in their projects and receiving low grades as a result. Please see this Tips for a Great Final Project document as well as the Summary of Course Content document that students have access to in the final project section of the course.

Grading, Rubrics & Feedback
The course grade is comprised of 2 parts (Course work and the Final Project/Exam). The final course grade is made up of: Course work = 75% and the Final Project/Exam Average=25%. Progress reports are completed and submitted to schools every 2 weeks. Students in NCVPS Spanish courses are graded based on their Spanish-language proficiency. It's the school's/ELA/s responsibility to provide them to the students/parents. Please see the rubrics below for complete details. NCVPS only reports numerical grades, not alphabetical grades. All assignments receive specific feedback. It's critical for the students to check their grades/feedback daily and inquire with the teacher if they don't understand something or feel that there is an error. Assignments not attempted/completed receive a 0.
Grading Rubrics:
Below, are the grading rubrics that will be used to evaluate your performance/proficiency throughout the course. You should refer to these often, so that you know at what proficiency level you are performing and what you need to do to move to the next level. I have seen many students this past week not be able to move to the next level based on items I asked them to revise from their first attempt to the second attempt in looking at the rubrics. This could be something as simple as using transition words in their speaking or writing.
- Writing Rubric
- Speaking Rubric (original text production)
- Speaking Rubric (reproduction of existing text/speech)
- Listening & Reading Rubric
- Rubric - Required Synchronous Session (Live Class)
- Rubric - Actividad Cultural
- Rubric - Proyecto(s) Final(es)
- Rubric - eLinguaFolio
