Final Tasks
Tareas Finales
The lowest grade of these Tasks is dropped from your final grade.
How do people argue in different languages? Do you use the same expressions? What do you use to intensify or to soften what you want to say? For this Task you will learn how to argue in Spanish and will use that knowledge to write a script that you'll later act out in class!
The Final Tasks are the purpose and main goal of each Unit of the textbook and what guides nearly all you have learned.
At the beginning of each Unit in your textbook, you will see at the top of the right page something that says “En esta Unidad vamos a …” (In this Unit we are going to…) and there you will see what the objective is -the Final Task- of the Unit.
The in-class activities and most of the homework have the purpose to prepare you to complete these Tasks successfully.
There are six Final Tasks to complete in this course. The one with the lowest grade does not count towards your grade. Thus, out of the six Tasks, five are the ones who will count in your final grade.
These tasks resemble real-life tasks and represent the culmination of what you have learned. They are an opportunity for you to show yourself and your instructor that you can accomplish something concrete and real using Spanish!
