Lesson description: Student will be learning about proper usage with punctuation and

Mindsnacks application
RtI/ELL adaptations: This application increases in difficulty and includes various
activities. These capabilities within the app lend themselves to the ability to
differentiate and adapt instruction based on specific student learning needs.
Assessment (please include any support materials developed):
Completion of worksheet and long term demonstration of improved use of standard
grammar.
Tips for other teachers implementing this lesson: There is a free version of this app as
well as a paid version. The teacher will most likely eventually want the paid version
because it allows the students to progress to higher levels of the learning activities. The
issue is that an individual Mind Snacks accounts must be created for each individual user
or each individual iPad. We opted to create accounts for each iPad so that subsequent
users would not have to stop and take the time to create an account.
