TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION FOR MEANINGFUL CLASSROOM USE
= Daily Lesson GAME Plan Template = The Three Parts of an Essay || In this lesson students will be working to make a difference in their own school by working towards a solution to a real world problem and at the same time learning how to make responsibly make change and share their opinion. In our school, during lunch, students must sit at a table with their class so that teachers can monitor students while they eat. Several students have asked to be able to sit with friends in other classes. For this activity students will work in groups to brainstorm a solution to their problem, follow a format to write a proposal for their solution, and create a PowerPoint to accompany their proposal. When groups are done students will vote on the proposal they like best and that will be presented to the principal in class or through video. || **Content Standards:**  ü  Creativity and innovation ü  Communication and collaboration o  Research and information fluency ||

Students will be presented the problem and then given 15 minutes to write down ideas for their proposal. Students will then have 30 minutes to write a proposal following the template shown on the document camera.

Students will work in their groups at laptop stations to create a PowerPoint with a minimum of 4 slides. Slide 1- TITLE Slide 2- Stated Problem Slide 3- Proposed Solution Slide 4- Thank You

Students will present their group slides and will be assessed on following the format set on the first day and creating a PowerPoint that includes the 4 slides explained on day two. The students will vote anonymously on the presentation they would like to see presented to the principal and then a time will be arranged to do that our a video using VoiceThread will be created to share when she is available. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Overhead Document Camera and Projector Proposal template for students to follow.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Ongoing assessment(s): Students will be assessed on meeting the criteria set for each part of the lesson; the written proposal and the PowerPoint. The students will be assessed as a group unless it is clear that one or more students are not contributing equally to their group. If that is the case those individuals will given the chance to make up points by writing their own proposal or creating their own PowerPoint. Accommodations and extensions: Accommodations should be made so that students with various levels of computer experience are dispersed evenly within groups so that group members can help each other to meet the learning goals and project outcomes in the allotted time. If individuals are having difficulty working in groups then this assignment can still be completed on an individual level. This change can also be suggested for advanced or highly motivated students who want the challenge of working independently as long as there is enough available technology.

Backup plan: If the technology fails, then students can write their proposals and create posters on butcher paper or poster board rather than PowerPoint. If students are not responding to the prompt of changing lunch time-seating arrangements then another problem could be suggested like what should happen when the class gets a certain amount of classroom points or how to solve the school bullying problem. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Lesson reflections and notes: If this lesson works out the training for writing a proposal could be used for changes the students want to see outside of school as well. Students could write to the mayor or even state senator. Even if students don’t get a response the hope is that they still see that they do have a voice and can share their opinion.

The students will open up their assigned introduction from another classmate and write the body paragraph. Students should be creating some kind of problem in this body paragraph.

Students will learn about the conclusion paragraph. The teacher will share an example that resolves the problem and wraps up the story.

Accommodations and extensions: Students who are struggling to meet the deadlines of the goal could be given more time to finish the section on the next day if they fail to finish the designated section on that day. ELL students who might struggle with the speaking aspect should be given more time for any delays that might occur with reading the part of the story that they wrote. This lesson could also be adapted for advanced students or groups to create another or individual Photo Story when the assignment is complete. Backup plan: If telling students own stories is causing problems they could use Photo Story to retell famous stories like Little Red Riding Hood or the 3 Little Pigs. If the technology is not available than groups could be given a designated time of the day while students are working on something else so that all students would get the opportunity to use the resources needed to complete their digital stories. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Lesson reflections and notes: If it is evident that students are struggling with understanding how to use Photo Story, than an extra day for teaching students how to use this technology should be allotted so that all groups can complete each part of the Photo Story on the days assigned. Also, students should be reminded to put their names in order of who is reading on the title of the digital story so that it easier for the teacher on the day of assessment.
