 * Unit 2A:**
 * Unit Title: El Cartel de Glogster - La Comunidad y Las Palabras Interrogativas**
 * (Glogster Poster - The Community and** **Question Words)**
 * Unit Summary:** Seventh grade students used vocabulary (places in the community & question words) from their last chapter to create a poster about a place in the community. Students were required to choose a place in the community to be the subject of their poster. Students then used "question-starters" to write 7 or more different questions about their place. Students wrote an answer for each question to tell the reader/listener about the place they'd chosen. Students in this group had not used Glogster.com before this assignment. Though it is optimal to teach a Spanish class in the content area as much as possible, instruction about using the website was delivered in English for optimal understanding and to expediate the process. Students were required to include pictures or graphics which represented their place, text boxes which included the questions and answers, and audio recordings or their questions and answers. After the visual and narrative portions of the posters were completed, each student chose a partner to help him/her to record. One partner read the questions and the other read the answers. During the process, the teacher was able to leave messages for each student encouraging them and providing hints for improvement. See student instruction sheet below:

 * Unit 1A:**
 * Unit Title:** ¿Cómo Soy Yo?
 * Unit Summary:** Eighth grade students used previously studied vocabulary, grammar concepts and pronunciation skills to create a Spanish multi-media presentation about themselves. Students were shown an example power-point presentation about the teacher as an introduction and given a ppt template handout with sentence starters. Some students showed interest in using imovie to create their presentations and were given permission to do so. After creating their slides with visual cues and narratives, students were required to record themselves sharing the information on each slide in Spanish.
 * Unit Evaluation for Students:** Students were given a rubric (included in Unit Plan Template). The rubric was used by students to evaluate their presentations before placing them in the teacher's file folder on the server.
