Final Showdown: 2-Point Rubric Scoring Guidelines

Prompt: ¿A tu familia le gusta cenar junta a las siete de la noche?
Target Answer: «Sí, a mi familia le gusta cenar junta a las siete de la noche.»

• Point 1: Correct verb agreement (a mi familia le gusta with singular collective + infinitive).

• Point 2: Complete sentence structure (Subject + Verb + Time detail + correct punctuation).

⚠️ Common Spanish 1 Student Pitfalls on Unit 2:

• False Cognates: Translating librería as library instead of bookstore.

• Collective Agreement: Pluralizing verbs with la familia or la clase.

• Missing Accents: Omitting written accents on ¿Por qué?, ¿Quién?, ¿Dónde?

• Mirror Failure: Keeping the -as ending instead of switching to -o for yo.
