World Language Assessment
Your grades will be based on summative assessments that include all areas of proficiency- speaking, listening, reading, writing, language control (grammar and vocabulary), and culture. Summative grades will be accumulated in Power School on a total points system. Formative work may be shown but does not count in the grade (i.e., academic practice, entry and exit slips, formative lesson and unit assessments, etc.)
Quarter Grade (Q1 + Q2= 80% of the semester grade):
Summative assessments may include but are not limited to:
Lesson and unit assessments
Projects and research papers
Presentations
Speaking prompts
Final Summative Assessment (20% of the semester grade):
The Final Assessment Grade may include a mid-term assessment in some courses.
