Output

America (SparksNotes Editors,
2002).

command, keyboards and wah pads
for physical impairments.
 Advanced learners can facilitate
in group discussions and projects
to assist struggling learners.
Assessments
 Understand through Create
 Interpret through Changing Form
Learning Theory Applications
sociocultural theory (Scott and Palincsar, 2013)
• Teacher as facilitator
• students work in a social environment to identify real-world
problems through groups, semiotics such as charts and
graphs, language, and technology (Scott and Palincsar, 2013).
• The lesson contributes to a larger, more challenging
portfolio.
• Students solve problems together that they cannot solve on
their own (Scott and Palincsar, 2013).
• Later, students work independently on research and Web 2.0
projects, using knowledge gained from working in groups
with teacher as guide on the side (Scott and Palincsar, 2013).

Editor's Notes

  1. S1: I designed my lesson plan around To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. The course looks at historical setting during first day of the book, followed by character descriptions, then morals and themes, symbols and motifs.
  2. S2: The two learning objectives for this lesson plan state that learners will interpret literary works and connect them to real-life situations, and learners will compose Web 2.0 projects in connection with literary works. Since this lesson introduces the novel, I pull a quote from the text for students to interpret in connection with historical events during the period in which the book was written along with current events happening today.
  3. S3: I tried to incorporate all 10th Grade ELA curriculum standards in my plan. The students have the chance to work with vocabulary, comprehension, literature, research and information, writing and grammar, speaking, interpreting meaning, evaluating media, and composing visual messages.
  4. S4: Most of the learning materials exist in the classroom or computer lab, including computers, iPads, internet access, whiteboards, and may be purchased or are already owned by the students, such as books, smart phones, Post-It notes, and free Prezi accounts.
  5. S5: Resource accommodations enable students to perform tasks in low-, mid-, and high-tech environments. Though the lesson incorporate high-tech activities, the students may switch to low-tech library resources, should the technology fail. Though the final project for the lesson involves technology, students may convert the project to a low-tech poster with photocopied images or drawings and text.
  6. S6: Content-based literacy skills come easily with interpreting literary work. As you can see, learners exercise seven content-based skills in this lesson. The graphic explains how the literary ties into the visual with the use of graphic organizers.
  7. S7: The new media literacy skills highlighted in this lesson plan include networking, collaboration, and collective intelligence. Students work together to find information, give examples of claims made by the author, research historical and current-day events, and compare and contrast issues of race, class and conflict in the 1930s and now.
  8. S8: For the motivational activity, the teacher posts or projects the quote you see here on the board. Students reflect on the quote and write on Post-It notes what they think the quote means. They mount the Post-Its on a board or wall for everyone to read. Learners get into groups and discuss their thoughts. The teacher claps to signal the students to change groups a few times, until they’ve heard the perspective of six different people.
  9. S9: After groups discuss, the teacher facilitates an open-class discussion about the quote. Students share their understandings, and the teacher checks understanding by asking questions about vocabulary, concepts, and inferences.
  10. S10: Teacher closes open-class discussion and informs students that the quote comes from the book they are about to read. The teacher explains the book is set in 1930s Alabama and explains that the reader must understand the events of the times in order to grasp the significance of the quote.
  11. S11: The students begin researching information about 1930s America. The teacher gives them topics to keyword search, including the economy, war, and racism. The students are allowed to use their personal phones for this activity to add meaning and interest in the activity. As students search and create lists for later discussion, the teacher monitors the activity by walking around the room to confirm searching and list compiling is taking place.
  12. S12: After students research data, the teacher guides them in compiling that data on a Venn diagram comparing those events with events today.
  13. S13: After the group compilation of national issues, students regroup in small teams to look at race issues in 1930s Alabama in particular. This activity involves embedding the quote and headlines in the context of a larger issue of bias. The pecha kucha allows students to understand through creating.
  14. S14: As the entire lesson consists of pre-reading activities to set the context of the novel, the extension lies in beginning the novel as homework and initiating analysis of another component of the literature, the character construction. The next lesson will involve character map graphic organizers and Popplets.
  15. S15: Learners who need assistance due to visual or physical impairment may use braille iPads, voice e-readers, keyboards or wah pads. Advanced learners have the opportunity to assist group members in group activities.
  16. S16: In addition to asking concept questions, assessment format includes constructed response, lists, comparison and contrast diagrams and pecha kuchas. These formats exemplify the Understanding through Creating and Interpreting through Changing Forms formats of assessment discussed in Anderson and Krathwohl.
  17. S17: According to Scott and Palincsar, sociocultural theory is at work here: The teacher as facilitator with students working in social groups to solve problems together that they cannot solve individually, and using semiotics to do so. After performing these activities, students will hopefully be able to do so independently.
  18. S18: Strengths of this lesson include clear staging from beginning to middle to end and from controlled to freer practice. The activities prepare students to understand later work with the novel. Weaknesses include poor alignment, inconsistencies in concepts addressed and theoretical strategies. Assessment definition could be clearer. The pace of the unit must also be considered.
  19. S19-21: The remainder of my presentation gives credit to the researchers, publishers, and sites from which I put together this presentation.
