TIP+Scenario

**TIP Model Scenario ** In her Spanish I class, Ms. Sharon is having her students write an email newsletter describing in Spanish their school and events in their community to students in a classroom in Puerto Rico. She finds that her students' Spanish vocabulary is limited, and she wants to give them practice in using Spanish equivalents for many English words. She locates a software package that provides vocabulary practice by presenting words in English or Spanish to which students must supply equivalents in the opposite language. If they supply the correct word, the program pronounces both words. The Teacher's Manual gives a list of all the words.  //Please respond to this scenario in the discussion portion of this page using your name in the subject area//.
 * 1) What kind of software does this software provide, and why does Ms. Sharon think her students need it?
 * 2) Would it be best for students to use this package individually, in small groups, or as a whole class?
 * 3) How would you access whether this program was helping students learn enough vocabulary?
