IMPORTANT: Valoraré que les frases siguin vostres, senzilles i curtes, i penalitzaré
en gran mesura frases molt elaborades sabent que estan tretes del traductor o
google. No valoraré la vostra lectura en veu alta sinó la capacitat que teniu per
xerrar en anglès una estoneta. Ja sabeu que conec el vostre nivell i a cada un/a vos
exigiré el que podeu, segons el vostre nivell.
Vos avaluaré amb una rúbrica (que alguns de vosaltres heu ajudat a fer-la), com que he
de tenir moltes coses en compte ho enregistraré amb l’Ipad per poder tornar a
escoltar-ho i per fer una revisió de nota si no estau conformes)
Preparau-ho bé, practicau a casa i anirà bé!
and soon...
