The great thing about technology is that it can make good lessons better. A teacher can give a previously utilized lesson new life. This is kind of like what I did with Marc's lesson. He has a solid lesson already incorporating elements of technology. All I ended up doing was supercharging his original lesson with some familiar technology. I added a clip from A Charlie Brown Christmas and planned to open a class discussion after that was viewed to see if the students could find the obvious inferences within. This lesson could really be modified by changing the book you use and you could even assign different books or passages to each pair depending on the reading level of your students. I love to use i Pads for reading and there are so many free sites that offer the classics. One of my favorites is from the Library of Congress: http://www.read.gov/books/index.html. I like to project the book on the screen for the class as we read it together but you can do it anyway you want. There are just so many more options when you supercharge with technology. There is magic when you are making the old new again! Any feedback you can give me is greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading this. Lesson Plan: Marc Iniguez
Supercharger: Joe Inverso SLE: 3, 4 St: RL 1 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY: RL.4.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. Objectives: Students will be able to draw conclusions/inferences about a character in a story based on evidence (Inferences) Resources: Students, i Pads, Digitized story for i Pad, Digitized graphic organizer (readwritethink.org) & (pair Deck), Teacher: projector and laptop Anticipatory set: (Start with a Video) Prior to projecting video clip, Teacher will ask students what they think an inference is, then open brief discussion. Teacher will ask students to watch video clip and see if they can find the inference. Then have a brief discussion about the scene. Here is the video clip. Resource: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1:35) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YubVPL1X_AQ Class instruction: Introduce and Read the Story, review what inference is and how we can determine information from story (story can be projected on classroom projector and read as a class) Resource: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-books-23-469-classics/id364612911?mt=8 Direct Instruction: Model how to use graphic organizer, http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/story-30008.html Pair Work: Complete 1 inference together with a partner then post to peardeck https://www.peardeck.com/ Student Work: Come up w/ 2 more inferences, https://www.peardeck.com/ Differentiation: The teacher can assign story based on reading level of the student. Modification: Student may be given paper story map to complete. Accommodations: Student can be paired up with more or less advanced student. Assessment: Exit Ticket:Write down 1 inference from graphic organizer on google Docs Extension: Have students write their own story and have a partner draw inferences based on evidence from the story. HW: make 1 inference about something you read or have seen on TV or the Internet then Post to classroom blog
