    The lesson plans in this section are great interactive ways to motivate students to be engaged in concepts of grammar that are not always a passionate subject for them. I like that the resources offered by BrainPop are clear and engaging for students, but I really like that the lesson plans allow students to use each other and traditional resources to show what they have learned and practiced on BrainPop. They are a great intergration of technonolgy and traditional response skills to make a well balanced approach to learning.
