My Project

In my 7th grade classroom, the purchase of headphones can prove to be an invaluable investment in my students' learning. With the growing emphasis on technology and multimedia resources in education, headphones play a crucial role in enhancing the educational experience for both teachers and students.

One of the primary reasons why I would benefit from purchasing headphones for my class is for listening practice.

Listening skills are essential for academic success, especially in subjects like language arts. By providing each student with a pair of headphones, I can create an environment for students to engage in listening exercises and audio comprehension activities.

Furthermore, headphones are essential for incorporating audio books into my classroom curriculum. Students can listen to audio books during independent reading time, literacy circles, or as part of a whole class activity. By having access to headphones students can follow along with the text and develop their reading fluency and comprehension skills.

In addition to listening practice and audio books, headphones are needed for viewing informational videos in the classroom. In today's digital age, educational videos have become powerful tools for delivering content in an engaging and interactive manner. Whether students are watching documentaries, instructional videos, or virtual field trips, headphones allow each student to focus on the audio-visual material without causing distractions to their peers. This material will then be used to write informative and argumentative essays.

Ultimately, my students are deserving of headphones because they provide a means for differentiated instruction, personalized learning experiences, and equitable access to educational resources.

Ms. Stamper will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 17.
