10. Adaption: • If a student is uncomfortable with computers they will be put in a group with a student that is computer savvy. • Spanish to English & English to Spanish dictionaries will be available to students in the classroom library. For those who need that hands on book feeling since they might not want to be going back from tab to tab on the computer while their reading. • I have also provided a number of dictionary websites to help with the translation.
