I am a first year teacher starting from scratch. A document camera will bring our Classroom assignments to life. This camera will allow the students to become engaged in our ELA lessons. This will help the students in my 6th grade inclusion classes follow along in an interactive way. This will also help me model to my students what is expected of them through examples before they go off to do their independent work or group work. (Students learn better by seeing instead of lecturing). Help me bring our classroom material to life so the students will grow as learners through interactive lessons.
