6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| Introduction: In this lesson, students will use facebook and search
engines to create a complete Facebook page for a character assigned
in the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| I will pick a character, then I will draw numbers depending on the
class size and assign that student the character I picked. Students
will pick a partner before I inform them of their character. I will
then inform them of the character and introduce the activity with
the objectives and show them an example. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| The students will begin working on their assignment and continue
as homework. The next class they should be finishing the work and
sending it to me so I may verify and suggest changes if needed. They
continue to work on it until next class where they submit their final
work and begin preparing for their presentation. The fourth day they
begin presenting and depending on the size of the class it will extend
to the faith day where presentations will finish. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| Students may use anything they find on the Internet. so long as
they can source it. The reason why they Must source is is to validate
it and minimize the risk of putting false information in their work
while thinking it is real. The purpose of having another student present
one student's work is to show how this other person reads the profile
and images and understands it. It should be done well enough that
the classmates and I can understand it without problem. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| Depending on their abilities, some students may finish the activity
faster than scheduled and will be allowed to be in their computers
so long as they do not disturb their classmates. The class will take
place either in a computer room or in the regular classroom if all
the students have access to a computer. Any other needs that need
to be met because of a student's requirements will be handled according
to the school policy or my judgment if there is no school policy on
that need. It will be handled in favor of the student but not so much
as to give an extremely unfair advantage in comparison to the other
students. |

|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Students will send the link to their work the second day and
I will verify and make any corrections if necessary. They may come
before if they have doubts.
2. When presenting, the class will also judge to see if they understood
everything that was presented. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
I will present the students with the idea that they should:
1. Write so that others can understand your work, not only oneself.
2. Verify information and be open to differences in literature and
interpretations. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1. Corrections were made if any were suggested.
2. Information and Images were sourced.
3. Classmates and I could understand his page and all it's content
with no difficulty(excluding lack of understanding due to context
or previous reading requirements not given in class). |
| |
|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| Take notes on what worked and what didn't and why they did or didn't
and modify lesson plan accordingly or add the notes for future reference. |
