Thank you for attending my presentation at the AZLA Fall Conference!

Here is a simple performance assessment based on students talking about themselves plus all the lead-up activities you can do in class to prepare students to excel in their assessment. This is a presentational assessment in which students make a video of themselves (description below). This would also be used as an interpersonal assessment in which students would be talking together, trying to see who is the most interesting person.
| There is a new TV show in France about the lives of American teenagers. A talent scout has asked you to do an autobiographical recording about yourself. He will listen to it to see if you would make an interesting character on the show. You really want this gig, but you think your real life is too boring. Make an outlandish recording about yourself to help you get the job. |
Performance Assessment with lead-up activities
Les Expressions Utiles pour une Conversation
The following grading rubric for speaking activities has two parts: page one lets you quickly grade students. An A (90%) is 13.5 (middle score in every category). A student can receive an A+ (100%) or between 90% and 100% by achieving a 5 in any or all of the three categories.
The following rubric is intended to be used for a formative assessment. Students need a lot of practice before their summative assessment. This gives them either an A or a B and is for an initial assessment. You would grade more ‘harshly’ with subsequent assessments.
