Unit 6
HACIA EL AP* EXAM
Presentational Speaking:
Cultural Comparison
Strategies: Presentational Speaking
■ The questions contained in the Estrategias box
are examples that refer to the topic of Actividad 1.
Have students read the estrategias silently. Then,
with a partner, have them come up with a list of
guiding questions for the other two activities.
They can compile their list with that of other
groups before beginning the practice activities.
■ The task of comparing elements between two
or more cultures can get very complex. Help
students design a graphic organizer with which
they can organize their thoughts. For example,
you may want to have students vary a Venn
diagram in such a way that it can be used to
discuss a series of points. Have students present
their graphic organizers and choose the one that
works best for them.
Rubric for Evaluation
On the AP* Exam, each section is given a score
between 0 (Unacceptable) and 5 (Strong). In
order to earn a score of 5, the student’s oral
presentation should show:
– Content: Student presents and elaborates
on his or her cultural comparison, including
supporting details.
– Organization: Student’s presentation is
organized, with transitions and other language
devices facilitating and complementing the
organization.
– Message: Student’s response is fully
understandable, with ease of expression. Few
errors do not impede communication, and
self-correction improves comprehensibility.
– Language: Vocabulary is varied and precise.
Grammatical structures are used correctly.
Simple, compound, and complex sentences
are used appropriately.
– Speech: Pronunciation, rhythm, and pace are
appropriate and contribute to comprehension.
