My students are excited to learn Spanish, but speaking or writing in a new language can be intimidating at first.
With a class set of student whiteboards, my students will feel free to write out answers before saying them out loud.
If they realize they made a mistake or could improve their answer, it is much easier to edit on whiteboards than on paper.
Additionally, I aim to speak mostly in Spanish each lesson. These whiteboards will allow me to continuously check student comprehension by having them draw what I am saying or write answers to questions. Plus, the whiteboards, erasers, and markers will be useful in playing review games!
