Italian 1 (Fall 2016) Midterm: Ideal Roommate Video Project

This Italian 1 midterm project, "Alla ricerca di un/a coinquilino/a ideale," requires students to create a video introducing themselves and their interests to find an ideal roommate while studying in Italy. The project comprises three main components: an oral presentation (video), a listening activity (watching peers' videos), and a written component (describing the ideal roommate). Students are expected to collaborate with a partner for the video, which should be at least two minutes long and demonstrate natural conversation skills. After uploading the video, students will listen to their group members' videos and choose the best roommate based on the information presented. Finally, they will write a 100-word paragraph explaining why they chose their ideal roommate. The project is graded on video length, pronunciation, content, accuracy, and the quality of the written response, focusing on content, accuracy, and vocabulary. The assignment is due on October 28th for the video and November 3rd for the written component. Students should refer to the provided schedule for deadlines and guidelines.
