Mini-Research eBook Lesson Plan 2 by Katy Roberson

Primary Learning Outcome (PLO):
The primary learning outcomes to be achieved with this lesson include:
PLO: Students will be able to recognize place value for two-digit numbers, and be able to add
and subtract two-digit numbers.

Materials and Equipment:
1. Have an example of Mini-Research eBook activity to show students
2. Paper for drawing
3. Crayons and/or color markers
4. Pencil & paper (to make notes for lesson plan assessment and reflections)
5. Modification of a lesson developed by Dr. Diane L. Judd

Technology Connection:
Technologies that will be used in this lesson include:

Procedures:
Step One: Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer. Explain to students that you are going to use the computer to read an Mini-Research eBook about adding and subtractinng one and two-digit numbers. List 2 or more questions that introduce students to your Mini-Research eBook that will establish a connection to students' prior knowledge by asking them:
1. Can you tell me how we add two-digits numbers?
2. Does place value effect how we add when adding two-digit numbers?
Today we are going to read an eBook on the Internet. I have made a special Mini-Research eBook on the Internet for your class. (During discussion have students turn around away from the computer to interact.)

Step Two Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes:
(Students will sit at the computer where they can control the mouse and computer.) (Explain to students the process of the lesson.) After we read the Mini-Research eBook and visit several websites.

Check for understanding
Students with teacher assistance will read the Mini-Research eBook, explore, and discuss the information in the four linking websites that go with the Mini-Research eBook. Ask students guiding questions about the important concepts in the Mini-Research eBook and the linking websites. List four or more questions from each of your linking websites that will guide your students to gain information for your PLO.
1.Do you remember how to do simple addition math problems?
2.Can you subtract one-digit numbers?
3.Can you show me how to add two-digit numbers? Can you use proper notation and set the problem up in the right place value setting?
4. Can you solve two-digit subtraction problems? Do you know the proper notation to use? Can you set place value up correctly in the problem?

Practice and feedback related to the PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to students that they are going to to be helping me out today. We are going to the toy factory and we are going to add toys together with an addition problem using a graphic organizer, write out a word problem and draw a simple model of the addition problem you made. Tell the students that the information that they will need to complete their Mini-Research eBook project is listed and connected in the Mini-Research eBook activity. Review the information in the linked website in the Mini-Research eBook activity with the students to emphasize interesting and important information students will need to complete mission project.

Step Three
Closure:
Have students discuss their Mini-Research eBook activity and information they found on the Internet. Tell students that your Mini-Research eBook Website is on the Internet and they can visit the website at school or home. Explain to students that you are going to put their pictures and information on the Internet and they will be able to share their mission projects with their friends and family. (If possible teacher should take brief notes during the lesson and concluding discussions to be added later to the assessment and reflections in lesson plan.)

Assessment for the Primary Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
Student will be assessed through observation and oral discussion to evaluate if student with teacher guidance is able to Students were able to add numbers together and create a word problem. Also students were able to draw a model of their word problem using microsoft paint.

Rubric for Evaluation of PLO

	Level 3	Level 2	Level 1
PLO: Students will be able to recognize place value for two-digit numbers, and be able to addand subtract two-digit numbers.	Student with teacher guidance is able to recognize place value when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers as well as one digit numbers for review. They are able to create an addition problem using a graphic organizer, write a word problem, and draw a model of their addition problem.	Student with teacher guidance is able to recognize place value when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers as well as one digit numbers for review for the most part. They are able to create an addition problem using a graphic organizer, write a word problem, and draw a model of their addition problem, with a few minor issues.	Student with teacher guidance is not able to recognize place value when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers as well as one digit numbers for review. They are not able to create an addition problem using a graphic organizer, write a word problem, and draw a model of their addition problem.

1. Comment and describe the learning strategy that you implemented in your Mini-Research eBook Teaching Strategy Lesson. (* To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two sentences and a detailed example.)

* The day I taught this eBook lesson the computers did work up until the students were ready to look at the real world activity. However, since the students were able to look at the other pages of the eBook, which served as a review of adding and subtracting one and two-digit numbers. They were able to visit the websties I had posted on each page, and really enjoyed it. Example: Student 1, was able to improved their subtracting skills by using the website on page two of the eBook Sinec the real world activity did not work on the computer. I had the students do a similar activity to the ones the students from the first eBook did.

2. State evidence to show that your students gained knowledge during your Mini-Research eBook Teaching Strategy Lesson. (* To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two sentences and a detailed example.)

*I feel the student's in this lesson did grasp the concept of what I was trying to review with them. However, I noticed that the student understood addition of two-digit numbers better then subtraction. Place value is what really threw them off when it come to subtracting with two-digit numbers.

3. Give at least one suggestion that would lead to improving your teaching practices and student achievement. (* To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two sentences and a detailed example.)

* One area I really know needs improvement is sometimes I found myself wanting to tell the students how to do everything. For example: As I watched both of the students writing their word stories I wanted to correct them. However, I would catch myself prior to doing so, I wanted the students to do this activity on their own. Also I need to work on being clear about my directions. The students did not seem to undertstand what I wanted to being with especially when doing the activity.

Student	Performance Level	Descriptions of Students' Evidence that Illustrate the Achieved Performance Level of the PLO (* To receive full credit description must include minimum of two sentences and a detailed example of the students' evidence.)
1	2	The student with teacher guidance was able to recognize place value when subtracting two-digit numbers as well as one digit numbers for most of the review. They are able to create a subtraction problem using a graphic organizer. However, when the student was writing their word problem they had some difficulty. Also the student did have a few minor issues when drawing out models for the word problem they created. I feel the student did grasp the concept and knew what was expect. I simply feel that the student was confused, and did need assistance in a few areas. Overall the student like the other three did a great job.
2	2	The student with some teacher guidance was able to recognize place value when subtracting two-digit numbers, as well as one digit numbers during the review. The student was able to create a subtraction problem using a graphic organizer, write a word problem, and draw a model of their problem, with a few minor issues. This student did not seem to have any issues with wirting out the word problem. However, the student did need help when it came to setting up the problem, but was able to do the graphic organizer and model with little guidance then.
