Due to the lack of Ipads for the lesson below, I couldn't have each student use their own to work the program Word Magic. I decided that it would be a great idea to have them practice their hand writing while still using the Ipad. In addition, this allows for the students to do their own assessment of their work. In addition, I can make sure that they are following along in the lesson if they wrote down their answer.

I found it necessary to do the lesson below because many students had issues retelling what they have read. As I observed them in the classroom, I noticed that many of them were reading too quickly. To keep the lesson fun, yet get my point across to the students, I was able to have discussion, but still allow the lesson to be interactive.
