 * Your Name and Team and Subject Area:**
 * Lesson Plan:** //(Short Version)// Several are referenced below

Use of the document reader quite often to: 1) edit compositions of students with class: Students compositions on the comparison of the Day of the Dead with Halloween.Selections within the composition are displayed for changes by students. 2) present new concepts: Parts of a sentence - subject, predicate, phrases, clauses. Used **__Noteboo__**k (**Smart Board**) and Quia. Student practice on white board. 3) practice key concepts examples:1. editing to combine sentences logically to improve them. 2. examples from text and magazine articles to present and practice

Use of the laptop to research : Currently searching in the notebook for exercises for warm-up and practice. Using Quia to create practice and self-testing for content area work. Also using new teaching sites presented in Lite meetings, sessions with Ms. Davitz for applications in the classroom.
 * Reflections:** //(How would you change the lesson, what went right, what would you change?)//Type in the content of your page here.

Each lesson was useful as a repetition of concepts. Also it was kinesthetic and a relief from sitting. It allows for internalizing and ownership of the concept.

Not each one was able or always wanted to participate. More facility with programs will help this.
