=**Final** Project Statement=

I am creating a unit for my Spanish II students. The unit will introduce the present, present progressive and preterit tense. Students will be reintroduced to vocabulary of activities, friends and family, school and past time. Students need to use the material to create a digital story telling of their life. Students will use window’s movie maker or Mac- movie maker to create a digital story telling of their life. The units will be designed as followed. First, the unit will reinforce student’s vocabulary on activities learned throughout the year. Second, it will reintroduce the present, present progressive and preterit tense to the students giving activities and exercises. Third, students will be given examples of how to use Microsoft movie maker or Mac Movie maker.

By Dennis L and Jessica L It was hard to find a article that we could both add information to that would be relevant or factual. As most articles already have accurate information. []

=**Classroom 2.0 Forum 1** **Technology with Spanish Verbs**= In this article, the teacher was looking for ways to incorporate technology with the teaching of irregular verbs. I suggested two websites that have been useful for me, [|www.cojugemos].com and [|www.learnspanish].com. I also suggested the use of Microsoft movie maker or any software that can be use to create a video story. []

=**Classroom 2.0 Forum 2 Using Cell phones in class**= The way that I have incorporated cell phones in my Spanish class, is to have the students speak with a native Spanish speaker. while In classroom or taking an assessment, students have the opportunity to use their cell phones to look up words in dictionary web pages. []

=Classroom 2.0 Forum 3 Sharing websites used in the classroom = This discussion asked about different websites teachers have used to teach their students different types of activities. I talked about several websites that I have used. []

=**Question # 6 - Internet Guidelines**= Great Path Academy is located in the Manchester Community College. The college does not allow any posting of papers on the walls or in the classroom. Any material given to the student must be positive with no words containing (no or negative statements). These are the school policies create by the PBS program .



=Question # 7 WebQuest=

I did an online search of different formats of web quest and I found this useful website. []. Here you can input the information and it guides you to create a web quest. I made a copy of the internet format to a MS - file.

= = =Question # 9= This is a wonderful site for educators of any level to use to find information on any area or topic. It’s a good reference site that gives you ideas from bulletin boards, rubrics, link and much more. I found the (World info & languages) link which was very useful. There I found the website EspaЙole which had many resources in Spanish from level 1 to AP. I also enjoyed the foreign language newspapers from around the world link. This site is useful for my classes when students are looking for an article in Spanish to write a current event. There is an interesting free clip art link of illustrations for class. As an educator one needs to look for different ideas on and off. This site provides different ideas that can be useful to create something meaningful and authentic for the students.
