and revise

The lesson is to promote better writing skills, focusing on sentence

structure variety. Students should be able to form three different types
of grammatically accurate sentences.
21st century skills: collaboration, problem solving, technology
integration
Technology skills: interact with Smart Board, view and critically
analyze video
Instruction: Review the course content before hand; check for any
glitches in Smart Board presentation. Practice the games and the
examples.
Reflection/Revisions: Consider adding more opportunities for students
to interact with the technology. Although maybe two games are too
many? Determine this after class time. Will students understand the
difference between compound and complex sentences, or should this be
emphasized any better?
