| Title | Reading packets with computer projector |
| Body | I use packets in my class. I keep two copies of the packets... the original or clean" copy and a copy for the projection device. When we are using any of the activities out of the packet, I use the projection device. I enlarge the document to something over 100% so all the kids can see. I use the highlighter function to show them what I want them to highlight. This has almost completely eliminated my need for overheads (which in my building are a pain to make... far away... often out of supply... long lines... I hate cleaning them, etc.). I know this isn't a "glamorous" idea but it really works well. When doing a reading together, I often highlight in one color, phrases that IMHO a typical student at their level should know. I'll use another highlighter color for phrases or structures that I want to point out to them and another color to point out usage of any grammatical concept we're studying. I tell the kids to just read the "orange" words. I ask them to ignore everything else. They are pleased with how much they understand already without getting bogged down on the 20% that they don't understand. Then we try to figure out some of the non-highlighted words from context. I keep www.wordreference.com open, so we can look words up together. This helps with their dictionary skills. I do an extensive lesson using www.wordrefence.com in the fall and I like being able to review it throughout the year. Pento, A. Re: advice on projector use. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
