 * Jess Rowe || Use technology to help create excitement for grammar and words, specifically similes and metaphors. || Utilize the app, Screen Chomp. Student comes up with a simile or metaphor and takes a picture of the subject. Using the voice recorder, student records voice while drawing the second part of the simile/metaphor over the picture.

Ex. "The clouds are like spilt milk in the sky" Take a picture of the clouds. Draw a pitcher spilling milk over the clouds while reading the simile. || Finn || Teach students how technology can be used a writing tool and as a means to express their knowledge of specific writing traits || Look for apps that will enhance a students' knowledge of a specific writing style or trait.
 * Ash

An example of a writing style: dialogue.

Students will learn about dialogue and how to incorporate conversation into their writing. They will plan out a conversation between two or three characters and incorporate the conversation into a comic strip using the app Strip Design. The style of a comic strip and the nature of this app enables students to hone in on the conversation aspect of the story. The app also provides a different way for students to present a story. || Kristin, Lisa, Jessica ||  || http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYOCV54S9CE&list=UUW3ARFUZbF3d9dY3nM2RfRw&index=2&feature=plcp ||
