Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The products that I have selected will help my students prepare for their AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam. The fluorescent light covers will eliminate distracting flickers and headache-causing glare, reduce anxiety and create a more comfortable, relaxing learning environment. My students are noticeably more engaged in their audio recordings and less disruptive of their peers when they are given privacy. I will use the privacy shields to create study areas where students can individually record their simulated conversations and cultural comparisons for the speaking part of their exam. My goal for this project is to help my students pass their AP Spanish Exam and these materials will enhance their learning not only in the classroom, but on the exam as well.
