have to do is:

2. Sign in with a gmail or email account.
3. Start working individually his/her own toondoo
4. Show their classmates their toondoo.

Student with
special needs
For those students who present some difficulties to develop the activities, I
have set a plan:

Students with listening difficulties will do the activities in a written
way and they will watch some videos with images and text to
understand what they have to do.

Students with reading difficulties, most of the activities will be oral
and they will have a special support by the teacher.

Students with writing problems will do the activities orally.

No Spanish
speakers
Although I dont have foreigners in my classroom, I have set a plan just to
give an example of how I would do it.

The information is going to be given in an oral way.
The instructions will be clear and direct.
They will use more speaking than writing skill.
They will perform their Toondoo in their native language.
Their parents must support me with the activities at home and if
possible in the classroom.

Outstanding
Student
For successful students the activities will be a little bit more complex.

They will translate the expressions into Spanish.
They will rewrite the sentences in the correct form.
They will explain the features of Toondoo and what was the most
valuable they found in this application.
