New units & assessments in EntreCulturas 4
EntreCulturas 4 is coming to classrooms this fall, with an innovative approach to differentiated formative assessments that will get a clear picture of learner progress as they complete AP®-style tasks!
Each unit provides authentic resources and activities to help learners answer the essential questions. You’ll see the familiar En camino, along with the ¿Qué aprendiste? formative assessments and the new differentiated assessment items for ¿Qué aprendiste?
These differentiated formative assessments are single-task, AP®-like activities. They focus on a single mode of communication in a pre-AP® task format and over the course of each unit all four interpersonal and presentational modes are assessed. On the Learning Site you will find differentiated versions of each assessment: one at the on-target proficiency level, one at the level above, and one at the level below. The above-level version contains a modified prompt allowing students to take their language to the next level, while the below-level version provides support to bring those students who need it up to the targeted level.
The two new units we just added to the Learning site include:
Unidad 2: La Creatividad
Essential questions explored:
- How is artistic creativity a form of cultural expression?
- How are universal themes reflected in various forms of art?
- How does design reflect cultural identity?
- How does globalization impact what we wear?
Unidad 3: Las Identidades
Essential questions explored:
- What can we learn from historical figures?
- How can an individual transform history?
- What elements shape our identity?
- How do language and traditions contribute to form a cultural identity?
When you sample EntreCulturas 4, you will get access to all of the Learning Site content, including the formative assessments, authentic resources, and more.
