Big Idea/Focus
Question/Goal
|
|
|
What idea(s),
question(s) and/or goals drive your instruction?
What is rain? How
is rain helpful? What can too much
rain cause? This will be the
introduction lesson to rain in order to begin collecting data. This will lead to the discussions of how to
collect rain. After the introductory
lessons, we will begin collecting rain in order to graph the amounts of rain.

Instructional
Setting/Brief Instructional Plan
|
|
|
Briefly describe
how you intend to engage the students in the content of this lesson; give a
summary of the lesson content and delivery method; consider problem-based
learning; closure planned/assessment; and materials/resources needed.
Environment: The lesson will take place in the
classroom. The bulk of the lesson will
be presented to the students using a computer station. The students will view pictures and a brief
video on the teacher station television.
The use of 5 classroom computers will also be taking place throughout
this lesson and the future lessons in this unit.
Grouping: The students will be in whole group for
the bulk of instruction. This
introductory lesson should be presented to all students at once so that they
can learn from each other and use prior knowledge to engage in the
conversation. The students will
individually use the student computers to view videos and games to coincide
with this unit. This will allow the
students to practice on their own.

Technology
Integration Plan
|
|
|
Describe the type
of concept map (brainstorming, organization, student assessment) used and the
intended results hoped for
Pre-Technology
Activities: The students will
brain storm using prior knowledge to discuss the topic of rain. There will also be a picture of rain for
them to view and entice thoughts.
Technology
Activities: Students will view an informational video
about rain. They will also listen to a
fiction story on Bookflix. The teacher will lead the discussion of
completing the concept map. After the introductory lesson, the students,
with the assistance of the teacher, will track the weather patterns and make
a graph of the rain precipitation using the computer.
Post Technology
Activities: The students will
be paired a number of different times to share the concept maps. This allows the students to teach each
other what they know and have learned.

Communicate
information and ideas effectively
to multiple
audiences using a variety of media
and formats

Adaptations to
Meet Individual Needs
|
|
|
How will you adapt
the instructional procedures to meet the needs of individual students? Are
there management/safety issues that need to be considered when teaching this
lesson? If so, list them.
There
will also be paper copies of the concept maps and graphs for those students
that need to physically have tangible items for best learning.
The
students will be grouped previous to individual computer time to avoid
arguments.
|
|
|
What is the
‘relative advantage’ of technology integration in this lesson?
|
|
|
Briefly describe
how integrating technology provides a solution to a learning problem in this
lesson
Technology
brings the concept inside the classroom.
The lessons about rain may not be presented on a day that it is
raining outside, but with technology, the students can experience this
through videos. The weather outside
may not always cooperate with the lessons that are being taught, but this
introductory lesson must take place in order to build on the concept
throughout the rest of the year.

|
Evaluation and
Revision:
|
|
|
This is the plan
for how you will evaluate your students and yourself.
Student
Evaluation: Student evaluation
will be based on participation. They
should participate in the brainstorming, completing the concept map, and the
ongoing data collection of rain. This
will be an ongoing evaluation throughout the year.
Teacher
Evaluation: The teacher will
use professional judgment to gauge the speed of the lesson. I will evaluate this based on the students’
feedback and conversation. This will
also be evaluated throughout the year based on reviewing the graphs of the
data collection.
