December 2018 California Spanish Assessment Practice Items Scoring Guide 1

Guide Content This California Spanish Assessment (CSA) practice items scoring guide offers details about the items, student response types, correct responses, and related scoring considerations for the included samples of practice items. The items selected for the practice test are designed to reflect the following:

• A broad coverage of claims that closely mirror the CSA summative blueprint

• A broad coverage of California Common Core State Standards en Español (CCCSSeE) for the claims assessed by the CSA, i.e., Reading, Listening, and Writing Mechanics

• A range of student response types

• A breadth of difficulty levels across the items, ranging from easier to more difficult items

It is important to note that all student response types are not fully represented on every practice test, but a distribution can be observed across all the practice tests. The items presented are reflective of refinements and adjustments to content based on pilot test results and expert recommendations from a content perspective. The samples cover a selection of items from grade seven. The following information is presented along with each item:

• Grade Level: The intended grade level of the item

• Claim: The reporting category of the evidence being gathered

• Content Category: Further information regarding the content being assessed

• Standard: A reference to the assessable evidence statements of what students should know and be able to do

• Max. Points: The total number of available points for the item

• Item and Stimulus: A representation of the item and any associated stimulus

• Answer Key: The expected student response or example response including score point value

Each item is aligned with a specific CCCSSeE, but some items may align with two CCCSSeE, specifically the Listening items. Listening items have a primary standard that aligns with one of two CCCS CCCSSeE en Español at each grade level. They also have a secondary standard aligning with a Reading standard to provide consistency in content between the Listening and Reading claims, known collectively as the interpretive domains. Composite items contain a Part A and Part B; when those parts assess separate standards, primary and secondary standards are provided. Each item that follows has metadata as shown in the following table. The item number in the table preceding each sample item corresponds to the sequence number of the item as it appears in the practice test. If the wording of the standard includes “CA” at the end, it is a standard with wording specific to California for both English and Spanish language arts.

The following passage accompanies grade seven items numbered 8 through 17 in the practice test.

La amistad vale más que el oro

Personajes:

INÉS (madre de Fernando y Lucita) FERNANDO LUCITA BLANCA (madre de Julio) JULIO

NARRADOR. —Entre 1848 y 1855, Estados Unidos sufrió una de las enfermedades más contagiosas y capaces de cambiar el rumbo de una nación: la Fiebre del Oro en California. Este fenómeno migratorio trajo a este estado más de 300 000 nuevos residentes, que llegaban no solo de este país, sino de otras partes del mundo. Estas personas viajaban durante meses, e incluso años, para llegar hasta San Francisco en busca de este codiciado metal: el oro.

ACTO I

(Inés se encuentra junto a la carreta y la tienda de campaña, descargando las cosas con ayuda de sus hijos. Los niños no parecen estar muy contentos. En ese momento se acerca Blanca).

FERNANDO. —Pero mamá, esto no es lo que papá nos había prometido. Ha sido un viaje muy largo para llegar a una tienda de campaña. Extraño mucho a mis amigos.

LUCITA. —Y yo extraño a mis amigas. Y a mí tía Lupe. ¿Cuándo nos regresamos?

INÉS. —Chicos, vamos a seguir descargando la carreta antes de que oscurezca. Ya verán que aquí encontrarán nuevos amigos y muchas cosas que hacer. ¡Vamos, vamos!

(Blanca llega al lado de la carreta para conocer a los nuevos residentes).

BLANCA. —¡Hola! Me llamo Blanca. Bienvenidos al campamento de los mineros. ¿Cómo estuvo el viaje?

INÉS. —Mucho gusto, Blanca. Soy Inés. El viaje no estuvo mal. Creo que fuimos muy afortunados. Salimos a finales de invierno y cruzamos el desierto antes de que llegara el calor del verano. Los niños han disfrutado de la aventura. Acabamos de llegar. Mi marido ha ido al pueblo a buscar provisiones.

BLANCA. —Nosotros llegamos hace una semana, pero no pasamos por el Valle de la Muerte. Dicen que es el desierto más peligroso de todo el territorio. Cruzamos por Sierra Nevada. Aunque hay muchas cañadas y precipicios, al menos el clima no es tan severo y no falta el agua. Aquí hay mucho trabajo para las mujeres, y lo pagan bien. Si le gusta cocinar o remendar ropa, hay mucho que hacer. Ahora aquí estamos bien, pero bueno, cuando esté más establecida, ya hablaremos. ¡Hasta pronto! (Se va por detrás de la carreta y sale del escenario).

(Inés y sus hijos continúan descargando la carreta. Pasa Julio, el hijo de Blanca, y se detiene a conversar).

JULIO. —¡Hola! Me llamo Julio.

LUCITA. —¡Hola Julio! Soy Lucita, y este es mi hermano Fernando.

FERNANDO. —¿Cómo estás, Julio? ¡Qué alegría de ver a un chico de nuestra edad! ¿Vives aquí?

JULIO. —Por ahora sí, aquí vivo. Llegamos con la Fiebre y mi padre busca oro. Así que mientras lo encuentre, por aquí nos veremos. En este lugar hay muchas cosas que ver y explorar. He hecho muchos amigos de otros lugares. ¿Alguna vez habías conocido a alguien de Oregón, Panamá o China?

FERNANDO. —¿En serio? ¡Pero esos lugares están demasiado lejos! No puedo ni imaginarme cuánto tiempo tardaron en llegar. ¡Y vienen por la misma razón! Mi padre también se contagió. (Se ríe con ironía). Así que, o encontramos oro, o una cura para mi padre. (Vuelve a soltar una risita irónica).

JULIO. —Bueno Fernando, bienvenido. ¡Hasta luego, Lucita! (Se marcha por el lado derecho del escenario).

ACTO II

(Han pasado varias semanas. Julio y Fernando han decidido irse a explorar una zona más alejada del campamento. Hay árboles y rocas por todas partes. Los chicos llegan a un peñasco1).

JULIO. —(Señala el peñasco). Oye, Fernando, ¿crees que desde allá arriba se pueda ver el mar?

FERNANDO. —La única forma de averiguarlo es escalándolo. Ven, vamos a subir. ¿Tienes una cuerda contigo?

JULIO. —No, lo siento.

FERNANDO. —Pues ni modo, iremos agarrándonos a las rocas. Yo voy primero. (Comienza a escalar. Pronto empieza a quejarse del gran esfuerzo).

JULIO. —Te sigo.

FERNANDO. —(Continúa escalando. A medio camino, ve algo cerca de su mano. Le sacude la tierra para verlo mejor y grita con emoción). ¡Julio, Julio! ¡Rápido, sube! ¡Lo encontré, encontré oro! Mira, aquí hay una piedra dorada y muy brillante.

JULIO. —Ten cuidado Fernando, no te muevas tanto. Aquí voy subiendo detrás de ti. (Nervioso, va subiendo con lentitud pero con paso seguro).

FERNANDO. —(Sigue gritando muy emocionado y haciendo gestos con las manos). Pero, Julio, apúrate, que hemos encontrado oro. ¿Lo puedes creer? ¡Es oro, oro!... ¡Ayyyyy! (Pierde el equilibrio y se cae).

JULIO. —(Baja de un brinco. Sacude los hombros de Fernando con cuidado). ¡Fernando, abre los ojos! Despierta, amigo. No estoy para bromas. Por favor, abre los ojos. ¿Estás bien?

FERNANDO. —(Gime y comienza a mover la cabeza). ¡Ay, ay... Julio, ay! Me he caído desde arriba. Me duele todo. ¿Pero es verdad que he encontrado oro o estaba soñando?

JULIO. —¡Qué susto me has dado, Fernando! Ni todo el oro del mundo merece la pena si no tengo a mi amigo para compartir aventuras. ¡El susto

me ha servido de antídoto para no contagiarme de esta fiebre del oro! Deja ya de hacer tonterías y vámonos al campamento.

FERNANDO. —Tienes razón, Julio… El oro es muy valioso… pero ni todo el oro del mundo puede reemplazar a un amigo. Aunque pensándolo bien, las pepitas de oro que había en ese peñasco...

JULIO. —¡Fernando! Pero, ¿estás curado o no?

FERNANDO. —¡Jajaja! ¡Era broma, hombre! Anda ayúdame a levantarme y vámonos al campamento que con el golpe me ha entrado hambre. (Agarra la mano que le ofrece Julio para levantarse).

(Fernando se levanta con ayuda de Julio y se dan palmadas en los hombros. Se sacuden la tierra y se van caminando. FIN).

La Fiebre del Oro

La Fiebre del Oro surgió en 1848 por un descubrimiento de pepitas en los ríos adyacentes al pueblo de Coloma, cerca de la ciudad de Sacramento, capital del estado de California. Como consecuencia de este descubrimiento, en 1849 aproximadamente 300 000 personas de todas partes del mundo se lanzaron camino al oeste del territorio norteamericano para probar suerte. Este fenómeno resultó en el repentino desarrollo de nuevos pueblos y ciudades al oeste de las Montañas Rocosas.

Llegaron buscando un mundo mejor desde los confines a tierras de sol. Cruzando la sierra, familias enteras con noches de insomnio, de frío y temor;

5 mañanas de hierro, de sed y calor.

Coloma llamaba desde su interior, pepitas doradas, las dulces manzanas: cosecha de quienes, con prisa y valor, llegaban en carro, a caballo, en vapor,

10 con una esperanza, de tierras hermanas.

Y entre los pioneros, fueron los primeros quienes trabajando sin freno ni paz, lograron lo que otros deseaban lograr: del río extrajeron riquezas sin par,

15 fundando ciudades y pueblos linderos.

Y así California por fin se pobló de gentes de cada lugar y rincón. Vinieron buscando una vida mejor, colmada de paz y trabajo y amor.

20 Familias pioneras que se establecieron y dieron de sí lo más que pudieron.

Y un día en el río no hubo más manzanas, pero no importó, pues le echaron ganas y juntos lograron llenos de valor

25 aquellos pioneros de tierras lejanas hacer de California un lugar mejor.

La natación sincronizada

1 La natación sincronizada es uno de los deportes más llamativos; no solo por sus vistosas coreografías, sino también porque es un deporte incluido en los juegos olímpicos. En este deporte tan completo, los atletas crean rutinas en las que mezclan la natación, la danza y la gimnasia. Todo esto lo hacen al ritmo de la música y bajo el agua. Los atletas, que en su mayoría son mujeres, deben ser hábiles tanto en la natación como en la gimnasia. También deben poder moverse y bailar al ritmo de la música. La fuerza física, precisión y flexibilidad son muy importantes para realizar los movimientos en el agua.

2 Los miembros del equipo pueden sumergirse boca abajo, boca arriba, mantenerse en un sitio, hacer círculos, dar saltos y volteretas, etc. Los movimientos que se realizan en la natación sincronizada son muy variados. Algunos de estos ejercicios y movimientos están ya establecidos y tienen nombres como: posición de frente en extensión, pierna doble, posición vertical, flamenco, arco de delfín o caballero.

3 Las reglas para participar en las competencias dependerán del tipo de rutina: técnica o libre. Las atletas pueden participar solas, en parejas o en equipo de ocho nadadoras. Todas las rutinas deben presentar una coreografía acompañada de música. El tiempo de duración dependerá del tipo de rutina y del número de nadadoras. El tiempo promedio varía entre los dos y los cuatro minutos. Si las participantes se exceden del tiempo límite, se les descontarán puntos. Para las rutinas técnicas, las participantes pueden elegir la pieza musical, pero deben utilizar los ejercicios que están previamente establecidos. El Comité Técnico de

Natación Sincronizada es el que se encarga de elegir y seleccionar estos movimientos cada cuatro años. En el caso de las rutinas libres, las participantes tienen la libertad de escoger la música y la coreografía, usando cualquiera de los ejercicios de este deporte.

4 Los jueces evalúan a las participantes y les dan una puntuación: califican la gracia, sincronización del equipo, dificultad de los movimientos, música y creatividad de la rutina, entre otras cosas. Las nadadoras pueden perder puntos por tocar el fondo de la piscina, descansar en el borde o mirar sin sonreír.

5 La natación sincronizada es un deporte muy completo. Requiere de mucha disciplina y dedicación. Las nadadoras entrenan muchas horas a la semana y, además, reciben clases extras de aeróbic, gimnasia, natación, pesas y danza para perfeccionar este deporte tan artístico.
