Presentational Projects & Writing

Aligned to ACTFL Presentational — ACTFL World-Readiness Standards.

What this lesson teaches

Now you can create longer prepared pieces, like a paragraph, a slideshow, or a recorded video on a topic you choose. Good presentational work means connecting your sentences, using structures you know, and revising your draft. Planning time lets you catch and fix your own mistakes.

Worked example

You might record a short cooking demo in Spanish: 'Primero, corto los tomates. Despues, anado la sal.' (First, I cut the tomatoes. Then, I add the salt.)

Practice questions

  1. Pick a topic you could make a short video or slideshow about.
  2. Why does revising a draft make your work stronger?
  3. What connecting word like 'first' or 'then' could you use?

Proyectos de presentación y escritura

Ahora puedes crear trabajos preparados más extensos, como un párrafo, una presentación de diapositivas o un video grabado sobre un tema que tú elijas. Un buen trabajo de presentación implica conectar tus oraciones, usar estructuras que ya conoces y revisar tu borrador. El tiempo de planeación te permite detectar y corregir tus propios errores.

Ejemplo: Podrías grabar una pequeña demostración de cocina en español: 'Primero, corto los tomates. Después, añado la sal.' (First, I cut the tomatoes. Then, I add the salt.)
