Technology Connection
Technologies that will be used in this lesson include: computer with
Internet connection, printer, computer drawing program, and website of
Paint Picture & Story. Students will use computers to view
examples of pictures developed with a paint program. Students
will use a computer drawing program to draw a picture related to the
story. Copy of my
Paint website included with this lesson
plan.

What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? and URL: http://www.valdosta.edu/~ctisby/paint.html
Procedures
Step One:
Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer. Tell
students
that today you are going to read a special book
to them and
they will get to draw a picture on the computer. Explain that the
book you are going to read is about
some interesting animals,
and how they use parts of their body for sensory.
After reading the book, What Do You Do With
a Tail Like This?,
have students draw a picture on the
computer using a drawing program about the part of the book that they
liked
best.
Introduction questions: (Four or more) This book is about how
animals use their senses.
1. Have you ever read any of the books
about your five senses?
2. What are some body parts you use your senses for?
3. Have you ever been to the zoo and watch the animals play?
4. Can you tell me something about
a humpback whale?
Relate lesson to students' lives today and/or future:
What Do You Do With a Tail
Like This?
book will tell us some interesting facts about how we use our five
senses everyday. Explain to students that while
reading this book,
maybe they could use their sense of touch to feel things and their
sense of smell to smell things in the classroom. Ask them what a
cake smells like and have them to name which sense they are
using.
Have students go to your Paint picture website
and explain that you have made a picture on the computer as an
example
of one of your favorite books, The Look Book by Jane Belk Moncure.
(Have students sit at the computer where they can control
the mouse and computer. Assist students, if needed, to scroll
up and down on Paint picture Web page.) Briefly share your Paint
picture
and explain why this book is one of your favorite books.
Estimated Time:
About 10 minutes
Step Two:
Teaching the Primary
Learning Outcomes
Explain to the students that you have selected a special book, What Do You Do With a Tail like This?,
by Steve Jenkins, that
you are going to read to them. After reading the book to the
students, then have students draw a picture using a drawing program on
the computer of their favorite part of the
story.
Teacher will
use
oral reading strategies, such as picture walk, to introduce the book to
students.
Check for understanding before going on: Teacher will discuss
story and ask questions while
reading
to students.
(List four or more questions to ask students while reading the book.)
1. What are some of your
favorite things you like to smell?
2. What are some things in
the classroom that you see with your eyes that are red?
3. What are some animals
that feed themselves without using their hands?
4. What are some more
animals that have tails?
Provide practice and
feedback related to the primary learning outcomes: Teacher
will ask at least two critical thinking questions:
1. If you were an eagle in the
story, what would be some of the animals in the water that you would
eat?
2. If you could be any
animal in the book, which one would you be and why?
Guided Practice: Assist students to open the drawing program
and demonstrate how to
use some of the drawing tools. Allow students to have some
exploration
time with the drawing program and teacher will assist when needed.
Independent Practice: Students will draw a picture of their
favorite part of the book, What
Do You Do With a Tail like This?,
using a computer drawing program. During
this drawing process teacher will observe students using the computer
and give assistance
when needed. If possible print two copies
of each student’s paint picture (one for student and one for your
technology
notebook). Also save students’ pictures on disks
[File--->Save
As--->File name (give name with no spaces)--->Save as type
(jpg
or gif)--->Save in (A:)]. If possible save
students' pictures on computers, just in case something happens to the
pictures on the disks.
Estimated Time:
About 25 minutes
Have students discuss their pictures and explain how they made their pictures in the drawing program to you, and if possible to their teacher and peers. Have students discuss some of the interesting facts about the ocean that they found in the story. Ask students if they were going to draw another picture in the drawing program, what would they draw? Explain to students that most computers have drawing programs and maybe they could draw another picture at home or school. Teacher will review how to find the drawing program on most computers: Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Paint
Tell students that you are going to put their picture on the Internet and they will be able to go on the Internet and share their pictures with friends and family. (If possible teacher should take brief notes during the lesson and concluding discussions for the lesson plan's assessment and reflections to be added later.)
Estimated Time:
About 10 minutes
Assessment the Primary
Learning Outcomes

to control the computer and using the drawing program.
Satisfactory: Student is able to control the computer and use
the mouse to view the Paint Web page and explore the drawing program.
Unsatisfactory: Student is not able to control the computer
or use the mouse when viewing the Paint Web page and exploring the
drawing
program.
B. Fine Arts
Student will be assessed by the development of a picture using the
drawing program.
Satisfactory: Student is able to develop a picture through the
use of the drawing program.
Unsatisfactory: Student is not able to develop a picture through
the use of the drawing program.
Accommodation
Links
for Accommodations for Special Students
1. Select one of your students that needs special
attention. Describe the student in your class with special needs.
(Do not use the student's real name. You could refer to the
student
as "the special student.") Describe
your student and his or her needs in two or more sentences.
2. List the specific URL address of one Internet resource website, where you found information to assist you to work with your special needs student. Information for assisting special students: Links for Accommodations for Special Students or you can do a search. List the specific URL information for your special student. Be sure it links.
3. Explain what you would add to this lesson plan to accommodate your special student? Explain what you would add to this lesson to accommodate your special student.
Reflections
1. Describe and give examples of how you used
instructional strategies and the use of technology to encourage
students' development of critical thinking, problem solving, and
performance skills during this technology
integrated lesson.
Instructional strategies were used in technology to encourage
students' critical thinking. They gave thoughtful and
appropriate answers to the critical thinking questions. They used
their problem solving skills to learn how to navigate the paint program
and they demostrated their performance by creating pictures using the
program in reference to the book.
2. Describe and give examples that illustrate how the
students
achieved each assessment of your lesson. Give the achievement
level (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) for each assessment
for
each
of your students. (List
specific
examples (as evidence) that illustrate how your students
did for each
part
of the lesson's assessment.)
A. Technology Integration:
Student One:
Satisfactory (Student used the mouse to explore the Paint Web page and
explore the drawing page)
Student Two:
Satisfactory (Student used the mouse to explore the Paint Web page and
explore the drawing Page)
B. Fine Arts:
Student One:
Satisfactory (Student developed a picture using the paint program)
Student Two: Satisfactory
(Student developed a picture using the paint program)
3. Describe what you would change or do differently if you taught
this
lesson again. (Give specific examples)
I would allow more time in the lesson plan.
