GRADING CRITERIA FOR PERFORMANCES

Guidelines for Performances

A performance aims to make you practice your acting and easiness with a topic with Spanish language and culture. You and your classmate will create a dialogue/interaction/interchange that focuses on a specific situation focused on the objectives of one/two or various lessons.

What is the format for a Performance script/paper?
You are required to write your performance typed in Microsoft Word, using single spaced 12 pt. Times New Roman font. You are required to keep your file with all your performances. You will send this file to the instructor by the end of the semester. You are required to follow the guidelines (if the instructor provides the scenario) to write your performance. You are also required to write background information sections to the characters, situation, time, and roles to play. You are also encouraged to provide some notes (in English) for situation changes, characters’ new identities and emotions, or the like to provide a sense of the interaction and why some scenes change during the performance.
