This document discusses using concept-based teaching and technology to teach about literature and concepts like change within ecosystems. It provides examples of how teachers can develop concept maps to explore concepts within novels and use tools like podcasts, photo journals, and vodcasts to demonstrate student understanding. Students might analyze how the main character and setting change in a book about Japanese internment during WWII or explore how changes in weather patterns can alter landforms. Vocabulary and group presentations are used to solidify understanding of key concepts.
