Students learn best by doing. I'm requesting physical materials so my students can work and create together decoding Spanish texts, researching other cultures and reflecting on their own cultures, and producing independent and collaborative work to build and demonstrate their understanding with physical materials. Covid protocols meant that last year our school had to become highly integrated with tech. Engaging and enabling students with tech is important, but digital citizenship and breaks from technology are also vital. With multiple extension cords, my students will be able to make sure that their laptops are charged and functional (rather than resorting to using personal cell phones or tablets) and with many varieties of physical materials for creation (project materials) and interpretation (reading materials), students will be able to take a break from screen time and process information in a more "real" feeling way. Having these physical materials will empower students to accomplish many of the essential NV state standards for World Languages. My Spanish students need to be able to decode messages (WL 9-12.1) , make intercultural connections (WL 9-12.4) , make interdisciplinary connections (WL 9-12.6) , discover linguistic connections (WL 9-12.8) , and to "acquire information and diverse perspectives" (WL 9-12.7). They will be able to do all of these with these texts, through their laptops, and they will be able to deepen their understanding by collaborating and presenting to each other. We are in-person full-time this year (compared to hybrid last year), but students are struggling even more with screen fatigue, no supply sharing, and physical/mental exhaustion. Getting to use these materials will be a great step in the direction of improving these challenges.
