You will be expected to write about yourself, your family and your world.
Assignments vary and include short compositions, reports, letters, and commentaries.
You will be expected to produce complete sentences in the target language, employing vocabulary and grammar points introduced in class and studied in the textbook at home. The main goal is to be able to express your own ideas and feelings and, eventually, to do so by creating organized paragraphs, where one idea leads to another. In addition, at the intermediate and upper levels, your writing should have depth, show thought and reflection, and be well organized. An outstanding paper will be original and have a thesis, a well-developed argument, and a conclusion. Expressing yourself, your ideas, observations, and conclusions is important.
