Final+Project

21st Century Online Class Summative Assesment Be sure to reference your virtual notebook and **Final Project & Technology Guides**. The technology guides provide a quick review of specific technology tools.
 * __Identify the following which must be included in your project:__**
 * Name of Lesson/Topic
 * Essential Questions
 * State frameworks: Content, Literacy, & Technology
 * What will your objectives be - content objectives, literacy objectives, and technology objectives?
 * How will assess student outcomes?
 * What activities will you plan to achieve expected outcomes?
 * What strategies will you embed in the activities to help students reach the lesson objectives?
 * Are you integrating 21st Century skills and/or technology in your lesson?
 * Can you find any extremely engaging material (such as a virtual tour or experience) on the web related to your unit that might be useful?
 * Where will the space for inquiry be made? In other words, at what point in the lesson will you allow students to follow an area of interest within your given topic?
 * When do you plan to teach this lesson?

=LESSON PLAN= =The Killer Angels= In order to integrate 21st century technology into the lesson plan in the way that I imagined, I have assumed that some of the skills needed to perform tasks have already been taught. However, in reality each lesson or unit that is taught could integrate a new skill set in regards to technology. Furthermore, there is an implied assumption that all students will have access to technology in class.

Scientific Inquiry Skills (SIS) standards Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem. Students will write with a clear focus, coherent organization, and sufficient detail.
 * Standards:**
 * SIS1.** Make observations, raise questions, and formulate hypotheses
 * Standard 19: Writing**

Students will organize ideas in writing in a way that makes sense for their purpose.
 * Standard 24: Research**

Identify logical points for argument or point of view in an essay. w.2.14 Writes a research report that supports a thesis statement using logical organization. // Research // G9-12: 3.1 Devise and demonstrate strategies for efficiently collecting and organizing information from electronic sources. G9-12: 3.2 Compare, evaluate, and select appropriate electronic resources to locate specific information. G9-12: 3.3 Select the most appropriate search engines and directories for specific research tasks. G9-12: 3.5 Explain and demonstrate how specialized technology tools can be used for problem solving, decision making, and creativity in all subject areas
 * Language Strand**: w.2.16.b
 * // Standard 3. Demonstrate the ability to use technology for research, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation. //**

Students will be in small groups for the group work in teams of 4. They will work in collaboration in class and outside of class, except for their final essay, which will be done by each individual student. =**Objectives: SWBAT**= use technology to enhance their ability to research and collaborate on meaning using //The Killer Angels// as the class text.

investigate the causes for and action taken by the historical figures in //The Killer Angels//.

write an analysis of their findings and how it relates to //The Killer Angles//.

=**Activities/Strategies:**= // What does it mean to be an American? // // How do we use literature to deepen our understanding of history? // // What motivates people to act? // Watch scene from the movie The Killer Angels. (Prezi)
 * 1.** Post, to class wikispace, answers to questions, respond to posts in your group. __(Previously taught skill set)__

Evaluate scene and add to your posts commenting on scene and the values espoused within in relation to what you originally said and what your group members said.


 * 2**. New Technology skill set introduced. In real time, access internet and demonsrate use of bubblus using symbolism in the text //The Killer Angels//. Use both googledocs to access prewritten notes, and type out notes while on website. Have students create an account for bubblus and "invite" group members editing access. In class student will creat an account for bubblus to use to organize research information from upcoming lesson.

[|Evaluating Web Pages]
 * 3.** Research, using internet in class and for homework, an assigned topic from the following list: States Rights, Civil War, Fe﻿ deralism, Technology and War, US Civil War Characters, optional other topic cleared by teacher. Students will use Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & Questions to Ask from UC Berkeley - Teaching Library Internet Workshops __(Previously taught skill set)__ when using information from any site.


 * 4.** Mind map the information that your group researches using Bubblus in group. Using the web based bubblus site, the student will organize (Mind map) their findings on their topic. This will be the new technology skill introduced in the lesson. I will model for them how to create, login and we will model as a class an example of mind mapping using bubblus. This will take a class period with follow up mini lessons other calss days in regards to specifics troubleshooting issues that come up.

[|Bubblus]
 * 5.** Each group will present to class their findings and the Mind Map created using bubbl.us. Each group will create 2-3 questions based on research for quiz on next class after finish of all presentations. Each student will take quick quiz based on each others questions.

See document below.
 * 6.** Using text from book and scene from movie analyze the techniques used to create meaning and evaluate effectiveness in a 500 word response. The text and the scene relate to The title of the book and its reason for its use. Use googledocs to write essay. __(Previously taught skill set)__ The paragraph in The killer Angels makes an allusion to Hamlet's Act II Sc. ii speech. There are 2 movie clips, one from the movie Gettysburg, recreating this paragraph and another clip from David Treant in a production of Hamlet. The students will, in class in groups, mark up the text, and watch both clips. They will have an opportinity to discuss and brainstorm idea's for response. HW 500 word mini essay using googledocs.

On the research piece, students could investigate further on a myraid of subjects stemming from the larger assigned topics. Both written assignments have wonderful opportunites to explore not only other works of literature like Hamlet but also history. A student could begin with War and technology and end up with Guns, Germs and Steel in trying to explain why cultures rose as they have.
 * 7.** Using the writing process, create an essay that responds to one of the essential questions and how it relates to the research done on assigned topic and The killer Angels. Use googledocs to write essay. __(Previously taught skill set)__

=PS= This lesson has the scope for a larger more involved thematic unit and could easily be broken down into the minutia of small skill sets regarding technology integration. I have taken some liberties with assumptions in students understanding and background knowledge in relation to technology and its uses. Moreover, the use of this lesson would require access to computers and the internet on demand. That is not the real world but it does happen more and more often within the walls ofMaldenHigh School.
