INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PAPER THAT IS NOT TIDY AND CLEARLY LABELED, AS BELOW:

  


Part 1: THE TEACHER WILL GIVE 0 OR 1 POINT FOR LAST WEEK'S TASK (PART 1). IN GIVING THE
             MARK, THE TEACHER WILL ADOPT THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
1 = The Group Leader marked the paper 3, 4 or 5 (or the teacher considers it “a good first attempt”)
0 = The Leader marked the paper 0, 1 or 2 (or, if no mark, the teacher considers it “a poor first attempt”).

Part 2: There are four criteria (a, b, c d) for giving points in Part 2. Each criteria is worth 0 or 1 point.
NOTE: If you are unsure about the mark to give to a question and the student was not punctual in consigning the Task, give her 0. Or, if you are unsure but you think the student wrote something genial or has improved greatly from last week, give her 1. Use this “special criterion” only once. In other cases of doubt, flip a coin.

(a) 
1 =  (Spanish Apartment) The student indicates both the validity and relativity of stereotypes.
     0 =  The student makes a moralistic condemnation of stereotypes, or gives an equally superficial answer.

(b) 
1 =  (Questionnaire) The questions are linguistic or attitudinal and reveal American stereotypes.
     0 =  The questions are neither (for example, “Do you like Italy?”) or cannot serve to reveal stereotypes.

(c) 
1 =  For each question, the student predicts precisely her future interviewee's probable answer.
     0 =  The student does not hypothesize – in specific terms – what her future interviewee may say.

(d) 
1 =  The student says why each question is capable of exposing, in her interviewee, stereotypical
             American language habits or attitudes. In other words, she explicitly justifies each question.

     0 =  The student is incapable of saying why her questions
really show something about American culture.


Group Leaders should comment a student's mark if it needs justification, otherwise leave the line blank.
