Using the information gleamed from the semester exam results and other summative assessment results we wrote our smartgoal.

Spanish II SmartGoal:
Students will demonstrate 80% mastery of writing skills on summative exams.

- At least three times a week students will complete writing prompts or questions on the overhead/whiteboard. Students' responses will either be checked by peer editing or will be graded or ungraded as a formative assessment.
- Summative exams will be modified to incorporate two short answer/essay questions.
