AP Spanish | Mejora tu Ensayo Argumentativo | Argumentative Essay | Tácticas

Are you looking to provide your Pre & AP Spanish students formative writing practice without the burden of having to read each submission? ¡Para Aquí!

THE PERSPECTIVE: To improve writing, one has to write, and we want to provide our classroom writers the time and space to practice. But we don’t want to overburden ourselves with assessing each submittal and especially read material when the students haven’t had the training necessary to succeed.

THE PRACTICE: Students are given tools to reflect on what they have written and to have a peer act as a discerning reader who will look for what is done well and what can be improved.

THE PRODUCT: This product guides the student to reflect on the completion of the elements in a persuasive essay as required by the College Board for the AP exam by color coding them in their own writing. Secondly, the student is directed to find a critical friend who will read the color-coded assignment and have a conversation regarding what the writer did well and where s/he can improve.

The color-coding and the critical friend’s comments improves the writer’s skill and eases the burden of the instructor to read everything and provide feedback. We recommend that the multi-sided document be stapled to the writing and be available for future writings throughout the year.

Una Revisión Visual de un Ensayo Argumentativo, has been formatted as Google Slides© and includes the following:

• 10 visually appealing slides to guide the lesson

• Margin and speaker notes for facilitator support

• The National Standards for Foreign Language Learning for this particular lesson.

• A clearly stated content objective in Spanish and English

• A color-coded guide for the elements of the argumentative essay

• A definition of a critical friend and instructions on asking a critical friend for effective feedback

• A 30 point rubric in Spanish to reflect upon task completion

• The same 30 point rubric in English to share with administrators, parents or for differentiation

• Clear instruction for our strategy on how to ease the essay burden for all.
