 spelling are applied to make the meaning clear to the reader.  persuasive texts in a facile way.
 * Informational and persuasive texts use the recursive writing process.

 * Comprehension and fluency matter when reading informational and
 * Connections within and across human and physical systems are developed.

I feel this project could still be accomplished if the above named textbook is not available. Additional books, websites or other resources may be needed for support.

In regards to the technology component, my students had already experienced Glogster. edu. It would be very important while teaching this lesson, to prepare your students with Glogster.edu before embarking. Also, accessibility to laptops, and/or a lab would be important. If students had internet access at home, this would be an excellent assignment to have in and out of the classroom.

Another area where my students were prepared before this assignment was being able to write a persuasive piece. We had previously practiced this genre and the students were comfortbale going forward with the type of writing this assignment asked for.
