Title of lesson: Test Review

Description of lesson: Students will learn to use technology to supplement their learning of the Spanish language. They will be introduced to tools they can use to facilitate memorization and retention of Spanish vocabulary.

Assignment: Students will form groups of four in two pairs of two. Each pair will construct flash cards online of all the vocabulary words we have learned throughout the semester. The pairs will then drill each other using these flash cards. The two pairs will then play against each other in a Jeopardy game pre-constructed by the teacher.

Resources/materials needed: Flash card set (My Example: http://flashcarddb.com/cardset/93765-spanish-vocabulary-flashcards) and Jeopardy game.

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: Beginning Spanish can be challenging. Much of the knowledge building involves dry memorization of vocabulary, and this is a student's greatest obstacle in acquiring a new language. The technology used in this assignment serves to change the routine and give the students an interactive way to incorporate the vocabulary learned throughout the year.
