 * Standard 6 **
 * Teachers communicate well. **

Rationale 1: This slideshow was used to introduce vocabulary of the home in Spanish 3. Students saw the vocabulary words, heard the words and saw pictures to enhance the Spanish language. I showed this slideshow to students to introduce some of the new vocabulary for furniture and parts of the house. The students connected with the content of the slideshow and remained engaged during the brief lesson. Some students prefer to see words and other students prefer to hear words. This included both means of communication. Using the Simpson’s was beneficial to me because it was more engaging to present something fun rather than serious.

KSD  6.K.4 The teacher recognizes the importance of nonverbal, verbal and media communication techniques. The information presented in the slideshow was a combination of images, words and oral language. It used images that the students are familiar with.  6.S.5 The teacher knows how to use a variety of media communication tools, including audiovisual aids and computers, to enrich learning opportunities. The slideshow was presented to the entire class through the multimedia projector.  6.D.1 The teacher recognizes the power of language for self-expression, identity development, and learning. The images of the Simpson’s and their home enhanced the vocabulary. Seeing and hearing the words reinforced the vocabulary.
