A. First Interactive Whiteboard Lesson (SMART Board or Promethean)

1. List the standard for Mini-Research eBook Lessons from the GPS (K-5th) or Bright Start Standards (Pre-K) .
(Example: SKP3 Students will observe and communicate effects of gravity on objects.
a. Recognize that some things, such as airplanes and birds, are in the sky, but return to earth.
b. Recognize that the sun, moon, and stars are in the sky, but don’t come down.)



2. List the Learning Outcome (LO) for your selected standard.  What do you want students to understand, know, and be able to do?   What important concepts and content will they learn?  Write each learning outcome as a complete statement that describes and observable and measurable behavior.  Use the language of the element/indicator of the standard.
(Example: Student will name two things in the sky that return to earth and two things in the sky that do not return to earth.  Student will identify gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth. )



3. List information that your students will need, so they will be able to gain the knowledge needed to achieve your Learning Outcome.  The information from this question will guide you in question 4 below.
(Example: Students will need information about things in the sky that return to earth and about things in the sky that do not return to earth. Student will also need basic information about gravity as the cause for objects that return to earth.)


4. Describe three educational websites that you will need to find on the Internet to provide the information that you listed in question 3.  Also list the content information that you will provide on the content pages of you Mini-Research Lesson.  Be sure that you have included all of the information that you listed in your question 3 in the description of your educational websites below.

     b. Describe the information that you plan to write on the first content page that would give you students information for their standard and the sentences you will write to introduce the educational website that you hope to find.  (Example: I would write about things that are in the sky and return to earth, such as birds, airplanes, balls, and kites; and I would also introduce and write about the information on the linking website.)


     c. Describe the two or more pictures that you hope to find for your first content page to go with you first educational website and with the content information that you are going to write.  Example: I would put pictures on this page of things that are in the sky and return to earth, such as birds, airplanes, balls, and kites.)
