The final exams, written and oral, represent the student’s demonstration of the command of the language through the material introduced and taught during the competency.

All work is to be aligned to the curriculum of the course and content specific.

Submission Artifacts:

• Final written exam

• Final oral exam

Submission 1: Final Written Exam

On formal documents such as the final exam, students need to follow MLA standards to prepare the writing process.

The following items should be observed.

1. A header: student name, teacher name, name of course, date

2. A unique and compelling title, centered above the composition – not the word “autobiography”

3. Font: Times New Roman, 12

4. Double space each paragraph and indent each paragraph.

5. Standard punctuation, such as capital letters, commas, exclamation points and the like should be observed.

6. A 500-word document needs to be submitted for evaluation.

7. A first-person narrative voice.

The final exam draft should have five distinct paragraphs. The content of each paragraph depends on the student’s interest to share as his/her own autobiography.

An example of a five-paragraph composition could be:

Paragraph one - Introduce yourself and talk about your personal characteristics.

Paragraph two - Describe family members, their ages, characteristics and professions.

Paragraph three - Talk about the town, stores, where to go, and what to do.

Paragraph four - Describe likes and dislikes, seasons, days of the week, favorite foods.

Paragraph five - Bring a conclusion by tying all the above points into a resolution.

Topics that need to be addressed to align with the curriculum, and be content specific are:

Family, telling others' age, talking about others' professions, describing things one likes or dislikes, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, weather, talking about the city, things one likes to eat. Other topics may be used in the final written draft exam; however, the above topics are requirements for the final exam.

Students will be graded on the variety of vocabulary used from the course. Students may consult the dictionary for acquiring further detailed words which are not found in the course. Students may also consult outside resources for single words and grammar assistance but not building of sentence construction such as google translate.

Students are to follow Academic Integrity standards. Students are not allowed to seek help from others or use translation devices to translate sentence or chunks of words.

Students will be graded on conjugated verbs which have been presented in the course. Students will be graded on grammar presented in the course. Only the present tense and the immediate future are permitted at FRE 101 level final exam.

If you choose to submit a Draft, it is not graded. However, on the final version of the exam, students will lose points for not correcting mistakes presented from the draft version.
