Mary, good job. --Yanyan

Your video was informative on grammatical subtleties that trick kids at all ages. The quiz questions offered strong review, and the display kept it interesting and consistent. The knowledge presented was appropriate for grade level. Good work! -Joe Walla

I really liked your theme to your powerpoint. It really made me pay more attention to the lesson, and the sound affects were awesome too. Depending on what grade you show it to, you could easily make it easier or harder, since homonyms are something that all levels need to learn. Great job! - Emily Walker

I think your webquest was really nicely decorated and arranged in a way to keep the students interest in the project at hand. I really like the idea of the short story project where they write about something they know, because that is really what keeps students engaged. Great Job! -Emily Walker

- I really loved your diversity movie maker movie! I think the message was a very good one and the quotes were really interesting and unique, which is good when the topic is something we have heard a lot about. I liked the photo choice too because each picture was different from the others. The one thing I would change is the music was very bland and monotone, which didn't keep me as interested as I could have been. Overall, the movie was very well done and detailed! Great work! -Emily Walker

-I really enjoyed the power point, defiantly a good and easy way to help students learn. like Emily said you could easily make this easier or harder. Over all Good job!- Ashley Wheeler ==== - I liked your theme for your webquest that you chose to cover. It was a good idea to bring technology into getting students to writing a complete story. I think this could be easily used in your content area in higher elementary grades. Good work- Ashley Wheeler ====

====The WebQuest is very well done. The process is elaborate and clear so that the students will be able to complete the task. The teacher page is also informative so that others can seamlessly implement your lesson. The images are sound. The only suggestion, if possible, would be to enlarge the text slightly because on the pages with lots of the info has pretty small font. Other than that, really great design and content. -Joe Walla ====

Podcast Peer Review:

The podcast is informative in the history and format of haiku. The sound quality could benefit from removing some of the white noise in the background, allowing your voice to take greater clarity in the podcast. The best way to do this is probably to move closer to the mic and remove background noise. You spoke clearly and articulated the learning goals well. Keep it up!

-Joe Walla

I loved your podcast because it included all the aspects of a haiku that any student would have questions about. Your voice seemed a little distant from the microphone and there was a fuzzy sound to it. I liked that you included plenty of examples as well. Great Job! - Emily

Great job on your podcast! This is a great way to inform students on different poems they will be learning that they can listen to over and really understand it. You sound is a little fuzzy and hard to hear at times. -Ashley
