ROIT-235 Final/Term Project
Prof. X X
University X
Spring 2000
Your final exam project will be the construction of a mini-unit, just like your lessons in Progetto
Italica, but based on unused authentic video clips in our archive.
Get an early start: Visit unused clips linked to our class page. They are fun to explore.
You will create your project largely with Netscape Composer. Netscape Composer is very easy
to use and is on all campus computers. You can ask any lab assistant or your instructor for help.
Your project should include the following, and resemble a simplified version of the basic
Progetto Italica organization and design:
•
clip of choice
•
transcription of clip in Italian
•
translation of this into English
•
one listening/ aural comprehension exercise
•
one copy of the transcription with a grammar aspect (of choice) highlighted
•
a set of grammar (min. 2) exercises to accompany the highlighted forms.
•
mini cultural readings connected to the topic of your clip. (2 x 100 words)

•
a lexicon or brief vocabulary activity for pre-reading (min. 10 parole)
•
a comprehension check for post-reading
•
an output/speaking exercise (set of 3-4 discussion questions)
•
a writing exercise for (dialogue or essay) for fellow classmates/users.
•
links other Internet sites that you find interesting and pertinent to your topic
(“Approfondimenti”) (min. 3)
•
additional illustrations pertinent to your subject (min. 1)
Basic research for main cultural topic can be done with search engines online or more traditional
paper research materials.
* Please remember that cutting and pasting from original sites is considered plagiarism. You
must paraphrase cultural information and cite your source in a footnote to your text.
