This lesson plan aims to teach 1st grade students the difference between fact and fantasy. The teacher will show clips from Charlotte's Web and have students identify factual and fantastical scenes. Students will then differentiate between fact and fantasy pictures. They will also share their opinions on scenes from the movie clip. The lesson integrates technology, art, and Spanish and addresses listening/speaking, reading, and writing standards. The teacher will observe students identifying facts and fantasies in pictures to assess their understanding.

4. Reflection:
Outstanding model of Technology Integration
In this lesson I integrated technology in order to be able to reach all of my
students. For the story I like to Hop I wanted to cover fact and fantasy. Before
the students read the story I wanted them to understand the difference between
fact and fantasy. In order to work these two terms I presented two different
video clips. I use video clips from Charlotte’s Web and The little Rascals. I know
for a fact that children love these two movies and they are excellent tools to treat
fact and fantasy. The students seem to enjoy this class activity. As a matter of
fact the result exceeded my expectations. The students had an excellent
performance in fact and fantasy exercises throughout the unit. I believe that one
of the key factors to enable the students to engage in a positive learning
environment is motivation. In my perspective integrating technology serve as a
motivation technique for our students. This is the era of technology teachers
should embrace it and use it as a learning tool for our students.
