Simple Finals Assessment
​
For part 1 simple finals, you have two assignments.
Assignment 1 (12pts): Make your own pinyin flash cards. I have attached an example below.
​
Requirements for assessment 1:
-
Make 1 flashcard for each simple final.
-
Each flashcard must contain a front side and a back side.
-
The front side needs to show the pinyin letter and its type.
-
The back side needs to show the pinyin letter, similar pronunciation in English (or any other language you are familiar with), and pronunciation tips.
-
Must be handwritten flashcards (The example is digital because I do not have any flashcards at hand right now).

Don't just rely on the lesson video for ideas. Do your own research for each final. For example, I got the "serve" example from the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETjui473zak
​
Assignment 2 (9pts):
Practice pronouncing the 6 simple finals. Record your pronunciation and post it on flipgrid. I will listen to it and give feedbacks.

Grading scale (21pts total): 20/21 - A; 18/21 - B; 16/21 - C; 14/21; - F
​
Summary:
Pinyin is divided into two big categories: Initials (consonants) and Finals (vowels).
Finals are further divided into three main categories: Simple Finals, Compound Finals, and Nasal Finals (though there is an additional Special "er").
We covered the 6 Simple Finals in this lesson (a o e i u ü) and will cover Compound Finals in part 2.
