Itemwriter programs have been updated! Each program now features real speech and provides you with the ability to create your own item sets...you can even record your own voice for use with the items! Each program offers unique preprogrammed items on two levels of difficulty. All offer you the ability to change font and background colors, display session times and percentages, display 3, 4 or 5 multiple choices (two only for Answering Yes/No Questions), turn speech and sounds off and on, view and print session records, and select your choice of items to be printed for homework. All offer fun sounds for reinforcement of correct responses. Three mouse clicks allow you to choose level, starting question, and number of multiple choices to display...and you're off! A new feature for this series provides you with the ability to resume a previous session just by selecting the student's name.

Common
Expressions I, Common Expressions II
Who's "playing with a
full deck?" Common Expressions I and II each offer exciting new ways
to think about American idioms. Each program actually features two different
ways to view 100 literal pictured interpretations and the actual sayings-through
selection of three, four or five multiple choices or through the use of
a screen which allows you to select the pictures of idioms you wish to
discuss with the student and score as you choose.
Each program allows you to save, view and print session records or to
print out your selection of idioms for homework. Zoom in on a single picture
to discuss what the abstract and literal meanings of a single expression
might be, or choose four pictures at once for the student to select from.
Common Expressions also offers another multiple choice program that allows
the student to work independently also.
