Reflection assignment unit 3

In this assignment we create a speaking task in which we choose a topic

and then some images related to the topic. We created a task divided into

three parts. It was not so difficult to create the tasks and the appropriate

rubrics for each of the different tasks; nevertheless, the most interesting

part was to apply the speaking task. To apply the task we choose freshmen

students from English pedagogy. All the different rubrics were previously

read and analyzed by us (the teachers in this case) because a rubric must

be carefully study in advance.
