An example of using ShowMe App on iPad with Title I for intervention to preview non-fiction text. This is Shelly's and my role playing to show how it could work... then Shelly was able to try with the students. The kids love it and were really paying attention. How could you use this with your class, RTI, or WTS groups?

If your curriculum includes Native American culture, this would be a relevant post to get students discussing prior knowledge, and writing their thoughts down as comments (or have them dictate what to write and do a whole group comment by modeling for them how to collect their ideas and form a comment/friendly letter).
