 * Analyzing || I have the students compare and contrast Fairy Tales and fiction using a Venn Diagram. || I want the students to compare and contrast genres of literature using more innovative and interesting tools.  || Students will use Mind42 to create their own graphic organizer that will help them to compare and contrast different genres. ||
 * Understanding || I currently have the students creating a pencil/paper travel brochure to a specific region of the United States that they chose. || I would like for them to create a power point presentation to display this information.  || Students will use Microsoft Power Point to create a power point on the region of their choice. They will then present this to the class.  ||
 * Evaluating || I currently do not have the students evaluate their peers presentations. || I would like for the student’s to evaluate their peers presentations on their travel brochures of the different US regions.  || In time I will create a class wiki where student power point presentations can be uploaded. Once those presentations are uploaded peers will evaluate he content and record their findings in the wiki.  ||
