sound, slide transitions, color, and design to slides. Students will participate in an overview of terms and definitions designed to familiarize them with these building blocks of language and as a basis for more in-depth study. Students will study every part of speech and their roles in sentences. The teacher will show some images to the class and will ask them what they can say about the picture. The teacher will present a slideshow presentation1, PPT 2, video lesson about Parts of Speech. After presenting the slideshows and video, the teacher will show a flyer for more examples and for further understanding of the students. The teacher will assess the students through a multimedia presentation. The teacher will give an assignment. The instructions are the ff: 1.) Explain to the class that they will review the parts of speech unit they've been studying by designing a multimedia presentation. 2.) Divide students into groups according to their abilities. For total fairness, put each of the eight parts of speech on separate pieces of paper and have one student from each group select one. Remember that some parts of speech will require more work than others. The teacher may want to divide or combine parts of speech as class size dictates. 3.) Explain that students will follow these steps to complete their assignment: Type their information onto their slides. Download pictures from the Internet to illustrate each slide. (This will go a little smoother if students save their pictures to disks first.) Search the Internet for lessons on the parts of speech which might contain good examples and ideas they can use. Add sound and manipulate font color. Decide as a group on the general appearance of their unit and transitions between the slides. Design together a title page that lists their names, a quiz slide on their part of speech for the class to answer, an answer slide, an activity slide for class participation, and a "The End" slide. Hyperlink the quiz slide to the answer slide. Organize the slides into the correct order for the presentation. 4.) Allow time for the groups to get together and decide each member's responsibility in the presentation. Monitor this process to ensure their decisions are good ones. Each person in the group must design at least one multimedia slide 5.) After the assignment's steps have been explained to the students, instruct groups to research their units and prepare their written examples. All groups must have their ideas on paper before going to the computers.

Remind students to use the writing process to check grammar, spelling, sentence structure, mode, and format of information. In order for them to know what is expected, hand out presentation rubrics to each group Remind students to review the rubric to assure they meet the grading guidelines. 6.) After approval of their written plans, the assigned groups will go to the computer and begin to create their slides. If computer access is limited, divide the class time in half and allow at least two groups a class period to work. Note: Designing the layout is the longest portion of this lesson. To save time, make sure students have everything written down and the layout decided before going to the computer. Obviously, students may make adjustments after they start creating their presentation. 7.) After the students have completed their multimedia presentations, they will present them to the class. (Teacher assessment takes place at this time. 8.) Encourage the class to participate in the presentations of each group. Recognize and praise each student who correctly answers the questions of the quiz and participates in the activity included in each slideshow. The students will answer Quiz 1, Quiz 2, Quiz 3 and a reflection about their learning of the topic.
