
Links (“enlaces) are to be used for supplemental study and investigation. Some
are in Spanish to be used as authentic material (look them over and get
experience reading real links written for native speakers). Rather than feeling
intimidated by not being able to understand everything, pick out what you do
understand and read for overall comprehension. Other links include grammar
tutorials and/or practice. “Tema” refers to the theme and pages of the textbook
we will study in class.

TX = Text book

Remember that you will work with two different sets of CDs- The ones that

Rubric for writing papers.
Directions: Use the following to help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your
papers. Remember that weaknesses that show up on one paper often show up in further
papers. Keeping a record of these weaknesses can better help you focus your revision for
future papers. Even if you are writing in Spanish, the rules for good written
communications apply the same as if you were writing in your own language. The
success of your essay depends not only on the good use of the vocabulary and grammar
in Spanish but also on the other elements described below.
“A” Range
“B” Range
“C” Range
“D” Range
Not Passing
Thesis
Statement
The paper has
an obvious,
clearly stated,
and effective
thesis
statement that
fully addresses
the assignment.
The thesis
statement is
obvious to the
reader and
addresses the
assignment, but
it could be
worded more
precisely or
clearly.
The thesis
statement may
not be as obvious
to the reader, and
may not fully
address the
assignment. Its
wording may be
awkward or
poorly
constructed.
The thesis
statement is hard
to find. It also
may not address
the assignment.
Lack of thesis
statement.
Development /
Support
Thesis
statement is
thoroughly
developed and
supported by
specific and
plentiful
examples,
stories, or
dialogue. The
thesis is
thoroughly
proven by the
support points.
Thesis statement
is developed and
supported by
specific
examples,
stories,
dialogue, or
other details, but
more of these
details would’ve
helped to more
thoroughly
prove the thesis.
Thesis statement
is supported and
developed with
general details,
but the reader is
left largely
unconvinced of
your thesis. More
support would’ve
helped here.
Thesis statement
is ultimately not
supported and
developed with
enough details,
dialogue, and
examples to
prove that thesis.
No thesis
causes there to
be nothing to
support or
develop.
