Unit+Project+Assignment

// Unit Project Assignment  // **Who:** Students will work in groups of 3-4. Be fair! If anyone has a recorder at home, please try to be in a group that doesn’t have one. Turn groups in on **Thursday**. Keep in mind, each group will need a video camera. If your group doesn’t have a video camera, you will be able to stay after school on Friday or Monday to rent one out and record your video. **What:** The goal of this project is for students to demonstrate their understanding of health related issues. The video should last between 7-10 minutes. Students will have to create a health awareness video in Spanish that is composed of 3 parts. The videos will be shared in class on Tuesday of next week. Here are the 3 parts that are mandatory in the video. We will be showing the videos in class on **Tuesday.** Our goal for Chapter 5 of the high school level class of Spanish 2 is to prepare you to use your Spanish skills out in the real world in authentic situations. Another goal was to raise awareness of health issues and increase your knowledge on ways that you can stay healthier by comparing your habits with those of other students in the classroom. Your video should reflect your understanding of the following characteristics: a) The vocabulary used throughout Chapter 5 on health and fitness.   b)  Positive and Negative “tú” commands. c) Irregular (car/gar/zar) “tú” commands.   d)  Use of the preterit tense. e) Use of colloquial Spanish phrases.  I believe that these are essential parts of the language that you have learned throughout the chapter on health and fitness. You have developed these skills through writing, speaking, listening, and reading. I have decided that your understanding in these areas can be demonstrated through making a video because it will assess your knowledge of the language you have been learning and it is something that you can have fun and be creative with. Here is a suggested way to prepare and make your video.   a)  Choose your group of 3-4 members. Turn it in by **Thursday.** b) Find out who has the video camera or if you need to borrow one. Sign up to borrow one if necessary.   c)  Organize a day and time when you can all meet to record the video. **WRITE IT DOWN!** d) In class you will be aloud time to work on a script for your video. Make sure that the script equally included all members.    e)  Write a draft of the script according to the parts that are needed in the video. f) Make a check list of the amount of vocabulary, commands, and use of preterit tense as you are writing the script.    g)  After you have checked the list, edit your script and make a final copy. h) Once you have finished the script, you should practice it during class.   i)  Once you feel comfortable with the script, meet with your group at the agreed time and start recording. j) Watch the video and see if there is anything you need to change or edit.   k)  Also watch the video using the check list to make sure you’ve met all the requirements. l) Record how long your video is to make sure it is somewhere between 7 to 10 minutes.
 * 1) Public Service Announcement: This part should include ways to stay healthy in life. This section should be a minimum of 2 minutes long and contain at least 10 expression using vocabulary from Chapter 5. For example, you can say //“Puedes unirte a una clase de artes marciales!”.//

Please use at least 5 positive and 5 negative “tú” commands. Include at least 2 irregular commands and 1 car/gar/zar. These are included in the 10 total commands you will be using. This part of the video should be a minimum of 3 minutes.
 * 3) Abrupt Ending: Create some sort of situation where the video will not be able to finish for some reason. In this section you will need to use preterit tense of "poder", the imperfect tense of "ir" and chronological phrases.   This part of the video should be a minimum of 2 minutes long.
