Integrating Technology in the Second Language Classroom

Web lesson - Mini-project #3

Presentation of authentic materials
This project is a pedagogically sound presentation of an authentic text for language instruction. Use the handout for the Shrum & Glisan Interactive model from the Teacher's Handbook or the PACE model by Bonnie Adair-Hauck and Richard Donato in designing your activities. (You can use a different recognized model for teaching with authentic materials that you have studied, check it out with me first. e.g. SIOP)

Requirements:  the following components need to be present in the project (in addition to using authentic text to support teachig language/culture):
 

• At least 6 pages, including a number of different functions such as:
  
  • Title
  • Description of learning goals (SWBAT)
  • Pre-reading/listening preparation
  • Presentation of authentic text
  • Vocabulary support (gloss)
  • Comprehension and Interpretation activities or PACE activities (separate by pages, clearly labeled)
  • Feedback for activities
    
• Background color
• Graphics
• Sound
• Left, center, and right alignment for text or graphics (not spaces - not all 3 may be needed in your project); tables should set size as a percentage, not as an absolute number of pixels (unless you have a good reason for doing otherwise).
• Use of accented characters if appropriate:  Voilà
• At least 2 different Fonts used appropriately, but not too many - refer to Style lesson
• At least 2 font sizes used appropriately, but not too many - Refer to Style lesson
• Use of bold and italics for emphasis - Be BOLD but don't overdo it.
• A list (numbered or bulleted--such as this one)
• Use of

  indentation

• Links/jumps from text and graphics
• Text box
• Popup window or some sophisticated feedback method for student responses & glossing
• Hidden text with mouseover
• Correct spelling! Accurate grammar! (Though naturally I shouldn't have to say this.)
• First page will be index.html (project is in its own folder))
• Turn in a printed copy of your "Description of learning goals - SWBAT " along with your storyboard or flow chart.


You will give a brief  in-class presentation of your project.  Projects will be online.
