Different learning needs and different learning styles can be accommodated in group activities. Allow students who are initially hesitant in responding to questions with complete sentences to use word or phrase utterances. Partner hesitant students with students that are a stronger role model. Prepare a non-technological option when designing an activity incorporating technology.

Performance Based Assessments

Assessments conducted in the course of instructing this unit provide you with evidence to judge how much students have attained of the learning objectives. Students can also evaluate themselves to see what they have already achieved. Formative Assessment and Scoring Guidelines Standards Assessment Scoring

Guidelines MLE1.CCC2B

Conduct the pre-assessment. Show students three pictures that describe the scenes: My friends Ben and Lilly come to visit my home. So I introduce my friends to my Mom, and introduce my Mom to my friends. Ask several groups of students to act them out. Check if they know how to introduce people/friends to others in their own culture.

See Step 1 on Day 1 See Attachment G1.U8.D1.A

MLE1.P1

Conduct the interpersonal assessment. Put all photos in a magic box. Let all students stand in a circle. Student A picks up a photo from the box and asks student B on his/her right “Tā jiào shénme míngzi ?” (What’s his name?). After answering “Tā jiào ….” (His/Her name is ....), Student B picks up a photo and ask Student C on the right. Repeat the process until everyone has had a turn. Scoring Rubric: 3 Exceeds Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly) 2 Meets Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly with little help from teacher) 1 Approaches Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly with help from teacher) 0 Unsatisfactory (if no attempt was made)

See Step 5 on Day 2 If a student only gives an English answer, encourage him/her to try to say it in Chinese.

MLE1.INT2B MLE1.IP1C MLE1.IP1F

Observe and conduct the interpretive assessment. Let all students stand in a circle. Give each student a photo with a name XX written below. Some are photos of their classmates, while others are photos of strangers. Let each student take turns asking the person on his/her right the following questions. Example: Student A: (turn right and ask) “Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi ?” (What’s your name?) Student B: “Wǒ jiào ….” (My name is ….) Student A: (hold up the photo) “Nǐ rènshi XX ma?” (Do you know XX?) Student B: “Rènshi.”( I know.) or “Bú rènshi.” (I do not know.) Scoring Rubric: 3 Exceeds Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly) 2 Meets Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly with little help from teacher) 1 Approaches Expectations (if a student can respond and ask a question correctly with help from teacher) 0 Unsatisfactory (if no attempt was made)

See Step 4 on Day 4

Summative Assessment and Scoring Guidelines Standards Assessment Scoring

Guidelines MLE1.P1 MLE1.IP1D

Conduct the summative assessment. Ask students to present their posters which require them to introduce their friends in Chinese. They should speak out all the sentences on the poster. Ask volunteers to present first so that those who are not ready have chances to learn from their peers during the presentation. Scoring Rubric: 3 Exceeds Expectations (if a student can pronounce correctly) 2 Meets Expectations (if a student can pronounce correctly with little help from teacher) 1 Approaches Expectations (if a student can pronounce correctly with help from teacher) 0 Unsatisfactory (if no attempt was made)

2. Write the following sample sentences on the board. Review their English meaning by reminding students of the second part of the song “Finding Friends”. Use a boy picture card to teach students that “帅” (shuài, handsome) describes boys/males and stick it beside the character. Use a girl picture to teach students that “漂亮” (piàoliang, pretty) describes girls/females and stick it beside the character. Example: 他很帅。(Tā hěn shuài. He is handsome.) 她很漂亮。(Tā hěn piàoliang. She is pretty.) Walk to and gently pat one student on the shoulder. Ask students to say “Tā hěn shuài.” (He is handsome.) if a boy is patted. Ask students to say “Tā hěn piàoliang.” (She is pretty.) if a girl is patted. Do this faster and encourage students to focus, speak out the sentence faster and faster, and have fun.
