Summative Assessment

I successfully co-ordinated a summative assessment with IT support in German II. The summative test covered level I and Chapters 1 & 2 material in level II. Specifically, students were required to respond to an authentic German text by describing the person and his/her routines. Finally, the student had to compare herself/himself to the German. The problem was stated as such: Barack Obama plans to meet with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Please provide information on how young Germans are the same or different than their American counterparts. Compare their descriptions and routines to your own.
