Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.

 Android apps can be use as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Description: This app lesson will develop Second Grade students’ spelling and
grammar understanding and knowledge of capitalization in regards to nouns within a
sentence.

Instructional Objective:

Students will be able to apply the spelling skills they get from these applications and will
have an awareness of how to spell and capitalize diverse people, places, and things.

Students will be able to differentiate between words that need capitalization and which
do not.

Step 1 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will use the Bitsboard app and use
the people-related sentences displayed on the board to correct errors and determine
where exactly these nouns should be capitalized. Additionally, students will understand
the concept of capitalizing people’s names and the start of a sentence through writing
out the sentences.

Step 2 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will use the Sentence Maker Free
app to analyze their sentence-making skills where they can write a sentence based off of
a displayed photo where capitalization is applicable and see if they missed it within their
sentence and will be read back the sentence to see if it makes sense and where their
mistakes were.

Step 3 Creation-Based (Learning Artifact) or Skill-Based App (Screenshot of

Progress): Students will use the ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard app to create their
own descriptive sentences in regards to incorporating people, places, and things into
their sentences where they will partner up with someone else who can check over their
sentence for them.
