Evaluación: Go! Vive a tu manera

In my Spanish 1 class, we have watched up to minute 14:49 of episode 2 in the series Go! Vive a tu manera. We have spend a lot of time watching, reading (guides here and here), and talking about the show, so now it is assessment time. Since, we have spent so much time on the show, I wanted to have an assessment that weighs a lot. And I also wanted to make sure that I am hitting lots of modes of communication.

I am sharing here in case anyone can use and/or is curious about what an assessment for a TV Series might look like. So, here is my assessment and an explanation of the parts.


Part 1 is interpretive reading. Students read quotes (not actually from the show, but rather comprehensified versions of what characters said) and fill in the blank: __________ lo dijo a __________ for each quote. Students have seen these quotes (in slideshow here and in their reading guides).

For Part 2 is interpretive listening and reading. This Edpuzzle is very similar to what we have been doing in class before we watch. Students did this Edpuzzle earlier in the week. The video is me describing a section of the show that we have not seen yet (slides from this slideshow). You will notice that the questions are almost all multiple choice (21 total questions) and really, I am tricking them into getting more CI.

For Part 3, students will do things. First, they will identify the characters from the show. They will see this slideshow and write the name of each person.

Then, they will write about one character. 

This slideshow is something that we did in class to help prepare them for that part.

For Part 4, students will do this Edpuzzle. This section is not worth a lot.

And finally, Part 5 addresses the ACTFL Communities Standard:

Students will answer these questions:

If you have read this far, I hope this has been helpful! And if you have any suggestions, please comment below. In the future, on another assessment, I hope to include slides with screenshots and have students write about what happens in each.
