LET’S REFLECT! How easy / hard was that for you? How easy / hard would that be for your
students? Can you modify this to work with lower
levels? Can students in level 1 do a similar activity?
![Page 5: AP Language and Culture at Every Level](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56815f33550346895dce01b3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
HOW DOES THE EXAM ASSESS CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE?
The exam assesses cultural knowledge throughout, and not in a separate "culture" section. Students are not asked isolated questions about cultural trivia; rather, they are expected to demonstrate understanding of cultural information presented in print and audio texts. The best way to prepare students for this aspect of the exam is to use a variety of authentic materials during instruction and assessment. This will ensure that you continue to build and evaluate students' understanding of cultural products, practices, and perspectives.
AP (SPANISH/FRENCH/GERMAN) LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

AUTHENIC, AUTHENTIC, AUTHENTIC!!!!!
You can use the SAME authentic resources for a level 1 class that you would for a level 4 class and just ask different questions / provide different scaffolding. (ie, lower levels = factual questions directly from resource / upper level = interpretation, intent, more in depth comprehension)
![Page 67: AP Language and Culture at Every Level](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56815f33550346895dce01b3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
OTHER IDEAS 90% target language (Comprehensible input!!!) Pair share (spontaneous speaking) Personal Questions and Answers Classroom “chat.” (What did you do over the
weekend? What are you going to do…?) Compare / contrast culture Find authentic graphs / create graphs with your class Cloze activities with songs, followed with
comprehension questions Write formal letters as a formative or summative
assessment Commercials / videos from you tube (have them pick
out cultural elements or words they understand) Authentic readings with multiple choice questions Expression of the day/week/month

REFLECT: What do I ALREADY do in my classroom that helps build the skills needed for the listening and reading section of the AP test?
What do I already do that I could MODIFY to better prepare the students?
What can I ADD?
