Fall semester final project: Promotional video
This week, you’ll be delving into the history, culture and information about a Spanish-speaking country. With that newfound information, you’ll create an interesting two-minute screencast about the country to tell tourists all about it.
Each day, you’ll create new slides with information and photos about your country, including:
Requirements: Each slide should have an image (photo, illustration, etc.) and a few sentences/bullet points of information. (Although you shouldn’t just read what’s on the slides; add more information verbally!) Use at least 12 vocabulary words we’ve had throughout the semester throughout the screencast. Spanish should be clear and accurate. Use verb tenses, vocabulary and sentence structures we’ve used in class. Do not use online translators to change your verbs, and don’t use them to find words we’ve used in class. Use a select few words we’ve not covered in class, and be sure to provide a definition on the slides.
RUBRIC
60 points: Content (text is understandable, has flow, logical; images clear and illustrate the content; screencast is long enough and enough words in each section)
60 points: Accurate Spanish (uses correct verb tenses and verbs are changed accurately; vocabulary usage is good/appropriate; sentences formation is good)
30 points: Presentation (overall look of slides and screencast, neatness, general appearance)
