 * Summary: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">

Learning a new language requires three main elements: motivation, time, and memory. In order to successfully master the language or even begin to speak, read, write, and understand it efficiently, constant practice and hands-on application of the language is necessary. In order to motivate high school students who are more likely to be intimidated, afraid of making mistakes in front of their peers, or just plain uninterested; we must have certain supplies in the classroom that will help eliminate these obstacles in our journey to mastering the Spanish language as a class.

The smartboard would be a necessity in order to display certain resourceful and learning programs to apply the language. The Elmo classroom presenter would allow the teacher to share students' work with the rest of the class and give personal recognition for good work on assignments. The projector would allow the teacher to display certain Spanish videos that the students can learn from through listening activities.

The computers, web cams with a built-in microphone, and headsets will be used for the most important project in the students' success on their journey to mastering Spanish. It will allow the students to use Skype to speak directly to native Spanish speakers around the world in addition to the practice they receive by speaking to their fellow classmates. The Microsoft Word included in the Microsoft Office Professional Academic and the printer will be necessary to create and print any major assignments, such as, the reflections the students will be required to write immediately after they experience different hands-on activities in order to create a portfolio of their journey and progress.

Having the Rosetta Stone Spanish Software Level 1 will allow the students access to routine practice of the correct pronunciation and usage of verb tenses of the Spanish language in a relaxed, informal, yet proven means; by which to acquire the new language. The various features of this software allow for both the teacher and the student to access the students' ability to survive in a Spanish speaking society. In addition, the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium Student and Teacher Edition will allow the students to create, display, edit, and publish their Spanish projects with selected images.
