Spanish Cultures Final Exam Writing Rubric
This is how I am grading the Spanish Cultures Final Writing Exam.
December 17-21
Hello,
The Spanish Cultures final exam will be from 2:00 to 3:00 on Tuesday December 18th.
To prepare for the Spanish Cultures exam, be ready to write about what you have learned about another country: What did you learn about the history of another country? What did you learn about the rights of another country? What did you learn about an artifact? What did you learn about current events in another country?
