  2. WHAT IS AN IPA??? SELF QUIZ

  3. CURRENT approaches to assessment emphasize: • Standards-based, contextualized, and performance-based assessment • Where learners use their repertoire of knowledge and skills to create a product or a response

  4. To design any performance assessment task: Contextualize the task. Aim to design “meaningful” tasks that are interesting to the learner and relevant/practical. Design performances, not drills. Build tasks backwards from the models and scoring criteria (Students should know the target and standard in advance)

  5. What is the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)? 1. A cluster assessment featuring three tasks, each of which reflects one of the three modes of communication--Interpretive, Interpersonal and Presentational. 2. The three tasks are aligned within a single theme or content area, reflecting the manner in which students naturally acquire and use the language in the real world or the classroom.3. Each task provides the information and elicits the linguistic interaction that is necessary for students to complete the subsequent task.4. IPAs are designed for students at the novice-, intermediate-, and pre-advanced levels of proficiency. 5. They are standards-based; performance-based; developmental in nature; integrative; designed to be used with scoring rubrics that rate performance in terms of whether it meets expectations, exceeds expectations, or does not meet expectations for the task(www.actfl.org)

  17. Varios alumnos de 2º de ESO C han escrito textos argumentativos a favor y en contra de los graffitis. ¿Creéis que se trata de un arte urbano alternativo, o de un acto vandálico que debería prohibirse? Aquí os dejo los artículos que han escrito tres de vuestros compañeros sobre este tema, dando opiniones muy diversas. ¿Con quién estáis de acuerdo? ¿Qué pensáis vosotros?

  18. Yo, como aficionado al graffiti que soy, lo considero un arte En Europa hay graffitis famosos, como por ejemplo el Stop Landmines en Ginebra (Suiza), o los del Festival de arte urbano Poliniza, en Valencia (España). • Por otra parte, la mayoría de los graffiteros lo hacen sin permiso, en contra de la ley.

You will, however, be provided with all of the information you need. • Information Gap Activity • Information was used from the website, but written down (in English) for students to use. • Two students and I at a table working while others did another internet WebQuest • A lot of prompting • I wouldn’t do it this way again
