Bringing Spanish I into the 21st Century

Funded Sep 13, 2010

Thank you so much for helping my class get a projector.

We have used the projector to create PowerPoint's, study about immigration and Day of the Dead. My students have also gotten to watch their first movies in Spanish with subtitles, "Bajo la Misma Luna", and a documentary about Quincean~era celebrations in Mexico.

It has been a relief for me to be able to plan more exciting, interactive lessons with multimedia, and not have to depend on borrowing the equipment.

In our next unit, students are going to give their first spoken presentation to the class in Spanish, describing what their dream house would look like, and I'm planning to video tape parts of the presentations to view with the class later.

Thanks again for helping me to improve my Spanish classes for my students!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Zisow
