The document outlines a lesson plan for a 3rd grade class that will focus on literary elements, specifically style, over the course of a week. It describes the students, learning objectives, activities, materials, and evaluation. The class will review literary elements using a poster, listen to a read-aloud, and complete a webquest on style. Activities include class discussions, individual computer work, and a group webquest. The teacher will evaluate student understanding and feedback to improve future lessons.

1. Shelby Bollner Day Four 6/4/13
A
The students in my class will be completing a week long unit plan about the five literary
elements which are character, plot, setting, style, and theme. It is a 3rd
grade class and is about
even in the ratio of boys to girls at 12 boys and 10 girls. Culture wise, the students are similar as
the school is not located in a very culturally diverse area though some have Hispanic roots. All of
the class speaks English, though for some it was not their first language, which makes the mode
of communication much easier. The class doesn’t vary in age, so each should be taught on the
same level, with the exception of a few that lag behind.
S
Students will describe what the literary elements are with a focus on the literary element of style
and why they are significant by having a review of the class literary element poster, bylistening
to a read-aloud of a book pertaining to style and then will complete a post reading activity
involving the students doing a WebQuest.The students will Students will be able to describe the
literary element of style with 100% accuracy by the end of the unit.
S
There will be a couple different methods being used. First, the short review will be going on as
students sit at their desks and simply listen and can participate in review of the class element
poster.Activities following this will be students listening to a read-aloud of “Arrow To The Sun”
and then students will participate in a class discussion about different aspects of style from the
read-aloud. Lastly, the students will be asked to return to their seats where they will receive the
classroom set of computers and they will go to zunal.com where they will search for the
webquest I created for them to develop them knowledge further about the literary elements. They
will complete the activity that is described in the Webquest. The media used for this class will be
a combination of audio, visual (as in computers and multimedia), still images (the poster), text,
and Elmo use because of the class poster review, the read-aloud, the WebQuest containing the
class activity, and class computer use for completing the WebQuest. The materials used will be

2. the poster made by the teacher, the WebQuest by the teacher, the text purchased by the teacher,
and the class computer set rented out from the school’s media center.
U
The audio and visual media used will be the review of the class literary element poster and
WebQuest with the individual and group student activity while the students are at their desks
with each student having a computer from the class computer set.So there will need to have the
class computer set already rented and tested and made sure it works with the internet connection
and that it will come up with zunal.com and the WebQuest correctly and smoothly comes up and
plays the videos and goes to the different links without glitches. There will also be will be a need
to make sure that the class literary poster is in a visible place in the classroom where all students
can see it. For the read-aloud, I will need to make sure that the Elmo is set up so that the book
can be viewed from the front of the classroom so no students will have to strain to see. I will
have already practiced this read-aloud many times to assure that I will go through it smoothly
and that I already know what I want to say and mention about the literary element of setting.
R
The learner participation in this class will have to be great. The students will often be in class
discussionsand also group activities like when going over the literary element class poster when
there will be opportunity to discuss each element and have students ask questions and when
students will be discussing elements of style for a post-reading activity after the read-aloud.The
WebQuest will also be group work related so the students will have to participate there as well so
the students will have many opportunities to discuss what they think about the activities, what
they felt about the activities, if they liked them.
E
For evaluating my lesson plan, I will take what the students liked best and what they didn’t enjoy
about the lesson. I will evaluate how much the students knew about the literary element of
character after the lesson and see how much they retained. I will consider what went smoothly
and what parts of the lesson need to be practiced and worked on to make sure there are less

3. interruptions and to make sure each activity flows from one to the other. I will also consider what
other technologies I implement into this lesson plan.
