3. Main Objective
I will be teaching a group of 23 Third Grade students (10 female, 13
male, 4 African American children, and 19 Caucasians) the fictional
world of Harry Potter where students will be able to do all of the
following after the unit: identify all 5 literary elements, conduct
independent research at a beginner level, and utilize multimedia
tools of all kinds to showcase their work and findings. The students
will obtain these skills by participating in the following activities:
listen to summaries via podcast, watch voki narrations that explain
each of the 5 literary elements, reading preselected Facebook posts
where a response will be required, creating a comprehensive wiki
showcasing their findings, create and watch informative YouTube
videos, watch photostories, follow various QR codes, listen to
podcasts, use Twitter to find definitions, read and comment on blogs,
complete webquests, creating poster advertisements, create graphic
organizers, watch video of arts and bots lesson aid, create an altered
images, creating a podcast, creating a breaking news article using

children will achieve this in no less than 5 days with an 80% accuracy.
