Description: The Power Point presention demonstrates a reading lesson conducted in an ESOL class. The majority of the students have a limited knowledge of English or American history. I read "Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King" by Jean Marzollo. Before reading the book I asked students tp wrote down anything they knew about Martin Luther King. Most wrote nothing. Then, I read the story using the Document camera. I also showed them King's website where students can hear King speaking about service. The class occured right before Obama's inauguration and he wanted students do community service the Martin Luther King Holiday. Then, I asked the students to turn their paper over and write down what they learned.

I asked students to volunteer to read their paper in front of the class by using the document camera.

Reflection: The students seemed to enjoy using the equipment. I liked using it. However, when I wanted to take a picture of the class, it appeared upside down on the screen. I could turn it right side up only on the computer.

Here is my Power Point file.
