Summary
After the introduction of Spanish weather vocabulary found in the Realidades 1 textbook, students will research the weather forecasts for the capital cities of their countries in order to collaboratively communicate them by creating a weather forecast video. They will film their own video material and use the Adobe Premiere video editing software application to edit the video. As part of the assessment process, students will assess themselves and their teammates on different aspects of collaboration, using rubrics supplied to them.
