RUSTIN'S INCENTIVE PLAN FOR CONTESTS
| HF.Sign-up.pdf | HF.Info.pdf | HF.Roster.Sample.pdf |
In
addition to having a lot of fun (!), you can get German Club points and “Additional
Project” credit (100 as a daily
grade) for competing at Houstonfest. German Club points: 1 point for each
event in which you actually compete
(except for folk dance and play, which are worth 2 points each because of
the intensive preparation involved), plus an
additional point for each event in which you place in the top five (including
folk dance and play).
Additional Projects:
You can get credit for one project by doing any three of the following “Category
I” events: culture test, directed dialogue, extemporaneous speaking,
grammar test, listening comprehension test, poetry reading, prose reading,
reading comprehension test, scavenger hunt, sight reading, spelling test,
vocabulary test. You can get credit for one project by doing any two of the
following “Category II” events: chorus, classical ensemble, club
album (secretary-historians only), doll costume (done alone), duet acting,
folk dance, gingerbread house (maximum of 4 per team), needlework (done alone),
Pass auf! (must actually get into a game to get credit), photo essay (maximum
of 2 per team), play, poetry memory, polka band, poster design (done alone),
prose memory, puppet show, research paper (done alone), skit, T-shirt design
(maximum of 2 per team), vocal solo. Or, you can become a “Houstonfest
Superstar,” for which you receive two Additional Projects and a 100 as
a major grade for the 3rd nine weeks, by doing the following: three events
from Category I and three events from Category II (one of which must be chorus,
duet acting, folk dance, play, polka band, puppet show, research paper, or
skit).
To get credit for any event, you will have to complete a checklist of requirements
for that event. The checklist contains
various milestones that will have to be completed by a given date. Failure
to follow the checklist will mean no additionalproject credit and no German
Club points.
