Touro University, Gibbs Technology Integration Unit Launch Page Type only in the gray areas Teacher Name: Mike Bass Project Name: QR Codes for Social Studies Project Subject(s): Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest Grade Level(s): 5th Goals & Objectives: Fifth graders will use QR codes to go on an information hunt for how geography and climate influenced the way the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest lived and adjusted to the natural environment, including locations of villages, the distinct structures that they built, and how they obtained food, clothing, tools, and utensils Emerging Trend: QR Code Essential Question: How did geography and climate influence the influenced the way the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest lived and adjusted to the natural environment, including locations of villages, the distinct structures that they built, and how they obtained food, clothing, tools, and utensils Scaffolding Questions: What defines a culture and what activities are parts of a culture? Why do different people from different parts of the world dress differently? Does everyone in the world eat the same food? If not why do they eat different types of food. Where do they get their food? What types of tools do people use around the world for everyday activities? How do different cultures decorate their homes and why do you think they decorate them in a particular manner? Why are homes in a part of the world different than in other parts of the world? Approximate Length of Unit (days, weeks) 10 days Unit Summary and Sequence of Events – give daily details: Students will be using smart phones and QR codes to search for information about the Pacific Northwest Native Americans. Day 1: The class will begin by discussing the scaffolding questions listed above. We will have a conversation about each different question revealing how people all over the world are different. We will also discuss why our homes, food, or clothes are different. The areas we live in and what is available for resources sculpt who we are and what is provided for in our culture. After our discussion, we will then discuss and learn what a QR code is. What it looks like, how it is used and how it is made. I will provide several different examples of a code and model for the students how to take a picture of one with a smartphone. Once the students have a clear understanding of a QR code and resources and how they shape a culture, we will go over the assignment. First, they will be placed into teams of four. Each student on the team will have a job and jobs will change daily. Job A: will be

Job B: This student will be the phone handler, they will be the only one for the day able to hold, transport or use the phone. Job C: This student will be the advisor, they will advise the recorder on what to write from a particular site, careful to use their own words. Job D: This student will be the guide; they will decide where to look for the code and which code they will go to. The assignment sheet will be reviewed at this time (see attached). Students will be required to find information about the Pacific Northwest Native Americans by means of a smartphone and QR codes. They will be required to find information about: the culture, the resources in the area, the homes they lived in, where they lived and why, what food they ate and where it came from. Once the information is gathered, they will be required to create a power point presentation and present it to the class. Day 2-4: students will use smartphones to take pictures of the QR codes to gather information about the Pacific Northwest Native Americans. They will be recording the information and trade jobs daily. Day 5-9: Students will be creating power point presentations in the computer lab Day 10: Student presentations Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction Learning Challenged Learning challenged students will be required to only report on Student: one aspect of the report. For example, they may be interested in the housing of the Native American, so they will research and write on this aspect only. They will be directed to sites with more photos and paired with students willing to help with the particular student. Gifted Student: Gifted students will be required to create a PowerPoint presentation on Native Americans. They will need to download photos from the internet and present their findings to the class as well. ELD Student: ELD students will be required to present their project with limited sentences. They will be directed to sites with lower level English with more photos. They a smaller requirement on the writing portion of the rubric.

- 4. Touro University, Gibbs FormativeAssessment Plans (Checking for Understanding) As the students are taking pictures of the QR codes, I will be checking in with each team to make sure they understand how to accomplish the task. I will also be working with groups in 10-15 minute increments to ensure they are working well together as well as coping information that is important information for the assignment. As I go group to group, I will focus on recorders working together with their group to put the information in their own words to avoid plagiarism. By the second day, I would assume the groups will be working well together and on the correct road. At that point, I can work with groups that might be struggling in their data gathering or with the students that are learning impaired or ELD students.
