Standard+7


 * Standard 7

Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons.** The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals.


 * Evidence**

In this project students need to translate popular Spanish songs through pictures. They need to present the information to the class as a powerpoint. Students need to know how to hyperlink their pictures so it is a very smooth presentation.
 * Rationale**

In class we do songs of the week and students respond well to them. It is a way for them to learn about the culture of Spanish speaking countries and practice new grammar concepts at the same time. Many students are visual learners so this project helps them to understand new vocabulary. I then use these songs, along with the visuals, as part of our weekly songs.

**3.K.1 The teacher understands and can identify differences in approaches to students’ strengths as the basis for growth. ** This project is great for the visual learners in my classroom. My hope is that every time they see a certain picture, they associate it with the Spanish word that goes with it.

**3.S.8 The teacher creates a learning community in which individual differences are respected. ** There is no right or wrong way to do this assignment. Showcasing differences in how students visualize or interprete songs is very intersting and can be great learning tool for students.

**6.D.3 The teacher is a thoughtful and responsive listener. **  I learn from these songs. I am also a student while my students are presenting these and am always interested in seeing how different my students intrepretations are from my own.
