Part 1: Students will use their

would like to write their poem about.
Part 2: Students will now use
the educational app named “Visual Poetry” to write a description of their
animal and use “Visual Poetry’s” drawing features to have the descriptive
text in the shape of that animal.
|

Assessment will be given
informally. I will assess the students understanding of the educational apps
by walking around the room and offering assistance when needed. Students will
also be assessed once their poem is complete by their understanding of the
lesson objectives.

TechChef4u is a
great app to help parents and
teachers accommodate the needs of
their
students. Although this app is made
for adults,
the benefits it can bring
these children are
extremely helpful to
their educational growth.
Overall, I would grade this app at the
top of the scale.
