This has been a really beneficial assignment. I have really enjoyed the idea of creating a small lesson plan that I would implement in my class and it's also been great because of the feedback I have received from my peers showing me possibilities for plan.

 I am using an app called Math Aliens from Math Arcade Games to help y students with the review process. This app will take the place of a review day along with another hands on game with skittles that they can play instead of the app just in case they don't enjoy video games.

What I would want to see from this would be these 4 goals:

1. Does this kind of a review day alleviate stress from the students?

2. Will good scores be achieved from this kind of a review day while at the same time having fun?

3.Do I as a teacher feel comfortable using a review plan like an app or a hands on game to implement an alternative review instead of more widely spread methods?

4. Do my students feel confident in their abilities through this method to achieve success?

This are all things that intrigue me as I would go into the quiz. Obviously the students would have more fun playing a game than a review, but will they be able to perform adequately with this as a substitute? And above all else would they feel confident in themselves? Ii would be interested in seeing this as would I also want to take into consideration of what I could have done better. Such as, did I put in enough time finding a game that would be challenging to their minds as well as being entertaining for them, , or did I give them easy to follow notes for them to have success? All these things would be important to me.

Now here are the following links to gain access to my game, my power point, and my outline of my lesson plan.

These are my apps that I have downloaded because I thought that they would be the easiest to use in a lesson or used to create a lesson in a fun way. English Space Invaders, Easy Essays, English Vocabulary, Thesaurus and Typing Club. All these apps can be used to help with writing essays and understanding the English language.

 1. English Space Invaders is fun because it gives you a goal and a score as you type you keep the enemy alien ships away. This game focuses on typing skill and it also throws words at you on various levels.

2. The Typing app is a competitive app that times you type the words out. It's great for going back to the basics and increasing typing speed. It reads a page off to you at a pace that you select and it allows for growth in challenging speeds and different words.

3. Easy Essay is an app that shows you step by step instructions to writing an effective essay. It is a good way if you need pointers on how to brainstorm or how to start with a bubble chart.

4. English Vocabulary is primarily just a dictionary reference app. Not a whole lot of bells and whistles, you just type in your word that your needing to understand and it allows you to get a good definition, what art of speech it is and how to use it in a sentence.

5.The Thesaurus app is a good reference for typing up a paper and using good jargon. Its great for keeping you from sounding redundant and is a great tool for mixing it up as far as word choice goes.

 The goal from using these apps would be to increase your ability to type papers and also the quality of your papers will increase.
