Description of Assessment (Performance Project):
Warm-up: Review vocabulary from lesson (music genres and instruments). Play 2-3 games of the "Lotería Humana." Put your past tense "battleship" practice here - but there weren't enough explanations for me to understand how exactly it was played. How do you know what verb and what subject pronoun to connect? are they on the board somewhere?
Pre-task: What do they already know about the Grammys? Have they ever heard of the Latin Grammys? Why do they think there might be a Latin Grammy?
During-task:
Read the article/articles and make a timeline with dates and places and participation numbers?
Post-task:
