D = 30/50:  Struggled through speech, needed  a lot of  prompting, seemed unprepared, needed more practice, lacked preparation, unorganized, missing required elements

+ 1, 2 or 3 – Bonus Points:  Stand out performance, unique and creative presentation

___________ Final Grade     


*Presentation below a minimum level of competency in each area will either redo project or will receive a score appropriate to the skill level demonstrated.

CAUTION:  Do NOT write your speech in English and then use an online translator to covert the speech into Spanish.
  
DO use your class notes to write your speech.  

The goal of the assignment is to use the vocabulary we have learned in class so far this year.  ONLY words from the class vocabulary lists may be used in your speech UNLESS PRE-APPROVED.

Remember, you want your speech to be understood by everyone else in the class, so they also must be familiar with the vocabulary you use.
