This
is a fantastic opportunity for students of CCFLT members
to create a 90-second videotape of themselves in a conversation
with another student. Conversations should be based on
the Colorado Foreign Language Model Content Standard,
1.2-Speaking. Students will do one or more of the following:
express needs, tell stories, obtain and convey information,
explain concepts and procedures, and/or persuade.
Pairs
of students will create, present, and record an original
conversation. They may determine the topic of their conversation,
but they must follow Standard 1.2 mentioned above. Their
presentation will be assessed according to the Colorado
State Foreign Language Model Content Standards.
Prizes
will be awarded in each language at each level - beginner,
intermediate, advanced, extension, and heritage speaker
- to students who create the best video in VHS or DVD
format. All students will receive a certificate for participating.
Only teachers who are members of CCFLT may submit entries.
Each teacher is allowed to send 2 videos per language,
per level. We are sorry that we are unable to accept presentations
done in 16 mm, beta, or any other format other than VHS
or DVD.
Please
fill out the entry form below. Teachers determine the
level that is appropriate for their students -- beginner,
intermediate, advanced, extension, or heritage speaker.
The
guidelines and rubrics are available on the links below
and give all the information necessary to organize your
students and explain how the students will be assessed.
You are encouraged to assess your students' video conversation
before you submit it. Each entry must be comprised of
two on-camera students. Each student must wear a name
tag or a tag with either the number 1 or 2 on it, visible
to the judges. Videos with only one student performing,
or three or more students performing, will be disqualified.
In addition, you are encouraged to have your students
assess each others' entries using the same rubrics prior
to sending in their entries.
Please
send your students' videotapes or DVDs to: CCFLT Video
