Hey Erin! How are you doing? Any ideas for the lesson?

9/22--Hey Erin! I have a couple ideas for the project--how are you doing? I was thinking about creating Virtual Word Wall-- this would incorporate literacy, vocabulary, reading, and technology...what do you think?


 * This is on the syllabus---I have the rubric printed for the Lesson Plan with the 8 indicators--is this the template? I don't see a template...???**

Lesson Ideas: You will be expected to post a ‘lesson idea’ in the forum that incorporates that week’s reading with Web 2.0 tools and

=
 at least one of the six basic applications. A template with online form will be provided. From Dorothy, I changed my mind with the lesson idea template **and decided to just have folks post a simple lesson idea (paragraph)**  ======

 **DOROTHY--So we have to write a paragraph explaining our lesson. We need to address the item in the rubric in a paragraph? That is it? KL** ======

 How about this as an intro lesson for the novel? I love the fact that the novel asks broad essential questions relevant to both disciplines. We could create this as a co-teach with 11th or 12th grade honors level students. The students could access this link and respond to the link below. I wonder if we could find an online reading od the book online in both languages? We could have targeted vocabulary words in each language--each could be accessed online for correct pronounciation, and we could have the kids create a podcast in either French/English reading their answers in the respective languages. Kind of like a cross-cultural literary circle. ( I am not spell checking this--I am just on a ramble...: ) ======

 We should look at the rubric and work our way through in terms of touching base and making sure we are on the right track. I don't think there is a template. ======

=
 As I understand this--this is for you and me--others in the class can see it, but will not be editing on our page. Which is a good thing. We can color code our messages if we want--you blue, me red..or whatever...I don't need to do that personally to understand what you and I are saying--it may, for the sake of the class, be easier for them to discern. Your call! KL ======

=
The cross cultural piece is good, but consider that if we are doing high school, some things will be more in depth in English than in French, simply because students may not have the same writings skills yet. ======

=
I have noever done this book, but am thinking the French side would be some key vocab initially, to help them with comprehension, then look at some themes that could be cross cultural... what about an activity that has them demonstrate they understand some of the cultural pieces? ======

=
**TO ERIN**: The Voice thread is perfect--have you used it before? I never have...That will be perfect for the alternative to the overhead.We could have the class brainstorm the essential questions/themes--then have them find quotes to support that within the text--then have them create the voice thread...???hmmmm... ======

We would, of courese translate the instructions for both classes--I don't think we need to get into that level as far as this assignment goes...from what I understood this was to be a simple lesson...HAHA--I am blue now--!! : ) ======

Kathleen and Erin, this is a great lesson idea but for this assignment you must actually create a fully developed lesson plan. Please look at the Rubric (It is on the left had side of this wiki) and make sure you have things like objectives.From Dorothy, I changed my mind with the lesson idea template **and decided to just have folks post a simple lesson idea (paragraph)** ======

OK so, we miscommunicated here. I thought you were talking about the "Evaluation of Resouces lesson idea" that was posted in the form discussion. Sorry about that. In the past I had used a template for that idea and it was too much work for folks so I changed it to 'just a paragraph" This lesson and the lesson idea for resources were two separate things. I hope you are all set now. Thanks for working with me to make it clearer.

Dorothy: I wrote this morning asking"so, we have to write paragraph explaining our lesson addressing the rubric in a paragraph?" For this assignment? Am I the only one not getting this--it is very vague and confusing. There is not template, there is a rubric.--I understand that. But there is no guideline for the assignment. A rubric is great--but there is no specific sheet or guide explaining what this assignment is about. I see the rubric--what we plan to do is write a paragraph addressing the points in the rubric. Is this what you want? This was presented to us as not a big deal--just a little lesson. The instructional goals are not present ======

Applications and Resources: Students will need to utilize voice thread to record their discoveries. What specifically do we need for this, Erin? Just access to the internet, and the artwork they plan to display while talking about their themes. I like the idea of having the overhead and do a class example of what some good discussions should be... give the kids an idea of what the expectations are before they create their own Voicethreads. ======

Materials needed for voice thread - laptops, pictures/artwork (digital), ======
