Smart Goal

Spanish I SmartGoal:

100 % of students will demonstrate 80% mastery of listening skills on summative exams during third quarter.

- Students will complete at least three listening activities per chapter. These activities will be reviewed in class on the overhead/whiteboard, which will allow students to self-assess or, these activities will be graded by the teacher as a formative assessment.

- Students will practice listening strategies in class. Examples of these listening strategies include: taking notes during speaking activities, listening for key verbs and verb forms (yo, tu, etc.), and reviewing a copy of the script before listening.

-Reviewed results of 7th period's mid term essays (this is the only class that I have graded thus far). Students did very well -- the one reoccuring problem was that students used ser instead of estar for location. I am going to go back over location (ex: The clock is under the flag) next semester.

- Reflected on how to incorporate first semester's skill sets into second semester's ---- decided to review certain problem areas (location, agreement) but with new vocabulary.

- Looked ahead to next semester --- I would like to have students speaking more in a non-scripted manner ... maybe just give them general topics to generate ideas about and then go around and ask them specific questions individualy.

- Reviewed WAVA book --- I would like to start utilizing this resource more. I just wasn't sure how to use it to its full advantage during first semester.
