What I learned
5
successes

• Students were engaged
• Students enjoyed the online activities
• I can build more lessons using the internet and
  excel
• Matched standards

6
shortcomings

• Finding the correct preteststudents had to take
  it twice. Is a good tool?
• Time available in the computer lab
• Time to do actual practice before the post test
• Unit took longer than expected

7
The students did improve in the post test and met
at least a competent status on the rubric for
writing.

REVISIONS
The pre test/post test needed some HELP! I
revised it and had the students take it again.
They were patient and helpful and actually helped
me do the revisions. I also found more web sites
where they could practice the use of the words
more. Although I did this lesson with students
in two eighth grade classes, I used data from
only one.

I had no idea that there was so much
interest in homophones, which is such a small
part of the whole picture in Language Arts. This
project has taught me how to enhance each lesson
I do by seeing what is available online. There
are other technologies Id like to add for the
students---they were limited to what we had
available to me and to the school.
