if the student lacks the ability to type responses.

can receive extra practice or help on an individual need basis.
E. Assessment/Evaluation Plan
- Formative
1. Students responses from the presentation answers will be
automatically sent to the teacher and reviewed. The teacher
can then send more practice to students that struggle and can
continue teaching new strategies to the students that were able
to succeed using the strategy.
