PORPUSE OF THE ASSESSMENT:
 By means of the present task activity it is tried to assess the achievements of the
students in front of the communicative competences described by the European
common framework for level B1.
 To gather information about the students learning through the second term.
 To check students’ progress about their writing skill during the term.
 To improve the teaching strategies, methodologies and to provide a good feedback
in students to enhance their learning process.
STAGE IN THE TEACHING SENTENCE: End of the second term, alternative
assessment.
ASSESSMENT TASK:
The students will pretend that they will have the opportunity to visit someplace new or a
place they are interested in, so the teacher is going to invite them to create a travel
brochure to share information about the place with other classmates. They can draw
pictures, use photographs, add maps, and write details about what people can see, eat, visit
or learn in that place.
The task requires the students to think about details from a place they have visited or a
place they might want to visit. Both require research, but different kinds. If they are
writing about a place they have visited, they will be recalling interesting information, such
as touristic places, gastronomy, customs, etc. If they are learning about a new place, they

2. will be conducting Internet and book research information. Then, the students will take
that information and turn it into a travel brochure. In both cases, they will find
information, select relevant facts, create an interesting layout, and write short texts for
others or themselves to read.
ASSESSMENT PROCESS:
The teacher is going to use a rubric to assess: punctuation, orthography, syntax, spelling

USE OF IMAGE
AND SPACE
There is an excellent
distribution of
space. The images
are appropriate and
do not impede the
visualization and
reading of the text
Images are
appropriate, but
some of them
impede the
visualization and
reading of the text,
and the use of space
could be improved.
The images are not
appropriate and they
impede the
visualization of the
text, there is a
misuse of the space
SINTAX The structure of the
tenses use are well
use.
The structure of the
tenses use has
mistaken but does
not affect
comprehension.
The brochure
presents lack of
structure and it is
not understandable
