After spending time researching for a lesson
plan that includes technology, I came across one that caught my attention for
several reasons. First, I liked the fact that the lesson plan was based on
culture, which allows the acquisition of a new language to be more enjoyable
and understandable. The lesson plan was well organized and in fact it even
included the accommodations for the lesson. Since this lesson plan is designed
for an advanced level student, the use of technology seemed to play an
important role during the lesson. Students were asked to elaborate a media
presentation by choosing a specific country of origin based on the vocabulary
and information learned in previous classes. The technology here was used to
reinforce the content. In this case, with the use of the overhead projector and
transparencies provided.
In my opinion, I feel that the main goal of this lesson plan is to get students to understand and use the vocabulary to construct a media presentation using their laptops. Besides this project being a group assignment, each student will be responsible for a piece of the final work that will be aligned with the standards shown in my spread sheet. In order for students to understand the vocabulary, I feel that it is necessary that the teacher adds to the lesson an overhead projector for them to visually see the pictures and the correct spelling if the words to facilitate the research for their media production. The strategies used in the lesson plan were well developed and I didn’t seem to find many gaps besides adding the overhead projector to increase the understanding of the content and the vocabulary used throughout the lesson.
