 * Title: The Grammar Gorillas


 * Comments:** This website supports teaching and learning in many different ways. The website provides ways to help students become more aware of what verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc. are. I think that this would be a great thing for teachers who are trying to teach their younger students about nouns and verbs. If teachers could have a time where they could get their students to get a better understanding, this would be the website for them. There are two different choices to choose from: Beginner and Advanced. If you click on the beginner it will help the student understand what nouns and verbs are, and what they do. The games that students play help understand what verbs and nouns are, and for every question they get correct they receive a banana. I could use this in the classroom, by opening my students to understand grammar. For every question they get correct, the students receive bananas, and that would reflect the grade that they would earn for that lesson on the day. It could always be used as something to do for fun for the day.

Funbrain seems like a good website. It has graphics and colors that are appealing the ages that would be using the site. This site has two different levels, which I think is very important because not every child is at the same spot in learning. It provides help with math and reading in a variety of different ways which is great. This would be a good site for children who are just getting into reading to be able to access and play around on.

 * Title: Fact Monster Word Wise, Grammar and Spelling


 * Comments:** Fact Monster Word Wise is a website that supports both teaching and learning. It helps students by teaching them the correct usage of grammar and spelling. For a teacher, using this website can both teach the teacher, or have the teacher teach her students using this website. This website can help students get a better understanding of how to use things the proper way. As a teacher, I would use this a treat to get them to understand something, especially if they are not getting an understanding of what is going on.

Fact Monster Word Wise seems like a very good website to use. It would definatly help teachers out because it is set up so that students can navigate through it easily and has lots of good information on punctuation which would be very useful when doing lessons on writing and such. RT

Fact Monster was an educational and entertaining site for students to use not only to learn different aspects of the English language and grammar, but also had fun games and tutorials, and even some pages and articles are current world events and pop culture, including the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, volunteer efforts in Haiti, and even a page on Harry Potter for kids. Although this site had some distractions and bias, for the most part I found it very useful, interesting, and informative. -LT
