Creative Connections

Help me give my students materials to express their creativity. In a world language class, we do a lot of work connecting images to vocabulary and responding to questions on whiteboards. These materials will help make that happen.

My Project

The materials in this request - a variety of markers, colored pencils, and paper - will allow students to readily make connections between images and new vocabulary words. The dry erase markers will allow them to quickly respond and get immediate feedback on their progress in the language classroom. These supplies allow the learning experience to become more visual for the students and allow them to be creative and make connections at the same time. As a teacher, I can quickly survey a room full of responses in seconds and gather the data that I need to see how much more practice might be needed.
