<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A. In the classroom pass out numbered iPads to assigned student pairs and direct students to open the //!SALSA!// app. The teacher will model and project all steps of the process to the classroom SMARTBoard screen using the teacher iPad.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">B. Within the ¡SALSA! App Settings, students will select the //Vocabulary Categories// option and //Uncheck All//. Then select the At Home category only.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">C. Students in pairs will collaborate and discuss how to translate English sentences provided and form correct Spanish sentences by clicking and dragging the words to the top of the screen to form a properly capitalized and punctuated sentence.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">D. If an answer is incorrect, students will receive the following message: //Wrong Order// with an arrow indicating the need to reorder the words. If they use the one incorrect, extra word provided, it will fall off the screen with a loud error noise. When students’ answers are correct, they will receive the following message: //¡CORRECTO!// //Touch to continue.//

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">E. Possible activity modification: If students need assistance in forming correct sentences, they may press the play/pause button for the correct answer and the following message: //Está bien. Touch screen to continue.// Students may then return to form that sentence correctly later.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">F. When the sentences begin to repeat, students will attempt to form sentences individually with the assistance and support of a partner as needed.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">G. For advanced students who progress rapidly: Informally time partners to check if their speed and accuracy is increasing.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">E. Students will take screen shots of their correctly formed words and view them in the the Photos app.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 16px;">F. For advanced students who progress rapidly: Students will video record their English and Spanish sentences using the Video app.
