How Jigsaw works: Students read a section of a given reading independently writing down three key concepts and any vocabulary words. Second, students meet in same groups to discuss their key concepts, vocabulary terms, and their similarities and differences. As a group they pair down all of their key concepts to two or three group key concepts (that may look different from any one individuals key concepts). Lastly, students are put into mixed groups where there is one person from each section of the reading. Collectively they each take turns teaching the others on their section. Students from the other sections will take notes on the key concepts from the other sections.

This rubric is designed for a Spanish video presentation in which the students will be presenting vocabulary and grammar concepts from a chaper from their text. Their video must have two parts: En Contexto in which they present the important vocabulary. En Vivo in which they present a dialogue demonstrating their understanding of the vocabulary covered in the chapter in addition to any previous knowledge they have from Spanish 1. Students are being graded both individually and as a group.

Students are required to answer comprehension questions doing/after class readings. Answers must be written in complete sentences.

Each student will research a country in English. If your chosen language is German, your country for this research project is Germany. If your chosen language is Italian, your country for this research project is Italy. If your language is Latin, please choose either Germany or Italy for this project.
