4.+Assignments+&+Rubrics


 * Integrated Performance Assessment: Combination of assignments designed to assess the three modes of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational.**


 * Interpretive Task:** Students will read a short text about an immigrant in Germany and then answer questions in English about that text to check their understanding.

This document contains the text and the questions for it.

Here is the link to the website where the text is located: [|Immigration Text]


 * Interpersonal Task:** Students will discuss, in an online forum, a political cartoon about immigration. They will be required to respond to each other (conversation-style) to discuss aspects of the cartoon in relation to the topics we have discussed in class. I will pose some "guiding" questions about the cartoon, but they will not be required to answer them. They will be there as conversation starters.

Here is the link to the actual online forum: IPA Interpersonal Online Forum . This is the rubric that they were given beforehand and that I used to grade their responses.


 * Presentational Task:** Students will prepare pieces of a public-service campaign to be presented to their classmates.
