This is a fantastic
opportunity for students of CCFLT members to create a 90-second
videotape of themselves in a conversation with each other
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 videotape an original conversation.
The students’ presentation will be assessed according
to the Colorado State Foreign Language Model Content Standards.
Students may determine the topic of their conversation.
However, they must follow Standard 1.2 mentioned above.
Prizes
will be awarded to students who create the best video in
VHS or DVD format. Prizes will be awarded in each language
at each level – beginner, intermediate, advanced,
extension, and heritage speaker. 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 unit plans and rubrics on the website at http://www.ccflt.org/contests/videocontest.htm
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 rubric prior to sending in their entry.
Please send your students’ videotapes or DVDs to:
CCFLT Video Contest Chair, Tracey Lonn, c/o Englewood
High School, 3800 S. Logan Street, Englewood, CO 80113.
Board members’ students may compete in competitions
