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 a
Mini-Research eBook
about the different jobs that
people within our community do.
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. "What are some of the different jobs
that you know people have?"
2. "What are your mommy and daddy's jobs
in the community?"
3. "What job do you dream of having when
you grow up?"
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.)
Estimated Time for Step One:
5 minutes
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.) We are going to read my 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. What did the police
officer say their jobs main goal is?
2. What is one
thing a firefighter does in the community?
3. What is a doctor's main
purpose?
4. What does a teacher help
students do?
Practice and feedback related to the
PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to
students that
they
are going to help replace the
communities lost job papers,
and they will make a fingerprint picture to show several jobs that many
people have. 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.
| Jobs of People in
Our Community |
| A disaster has occured! The papers describing the jobs of people within our community have been lost. The community needs your help to replace these missing papers. You will need to provide a picture and title of the four jobs that we talked about today, including police officer, firefighter, doctor, and teacher. |
| Lesson 1 Activity 1. You will need to get a piece of paper, ink pad, and colored pencils or crayons, that the teacher will have provided. 2. You will need to fold the paper hamburger style once and then again hamburger style. After opening up the folded paper, you will have four squares. 3. In each square you must show one of the four jobs we have talked about. These include a fire fighter, police officer, doctor, and teacher. Click on any of those jobs to look back for more information. 4. You will use the ink pad and make a thumb print on the paper. Your thumb print will be the body of the person. You will then use colored pencils or crayons to draw on the thumbprint and show what this person does at their job. 5. Be sure to label the pictures of the people with their job titles. |
[Students will write (or dictate to teacher) information to be included

on the Internet and they will be able to share their mission
projects with
their friends and family. (If possible teacher should take

3 |
The student was able to identify
and describe the jobs that people do. She was able to use her
thumbprint to make the pictures of each community helper. Also, the
student drew the outfit and background images that helped show
different aspects of each job. For example, on the part about the
firefighter, she used her thumbprint to make the firefighter. She use
red and black to draw the firefighters outfit. Also, she drew a
firetruck and house on fire in the background. |

2 |
The student was able to identify
the jobs that people do, but struggled with showing details in the
pictures of what the jobs are. The student needed a lot of the
teacher's guidance in help and still did not fully describe each job.
For example, in his artwork he was able to use his thumbprint to show
the people doing their jobs, but none of the community helpers are
wearing outfits, so all the peopl look the same. He tried to draw a few
things in the background, such as a teachers whiteboard, but the
teacher had to lead him in the direction of what to draw on the
background. |
1.
Comment
on your
teaching of how your
Mini-Research eBook
Lesson created learning experiences and activities that
implemented the use a variety of resources and technologies. (*To
receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
My teaching allowed students to use the
computer to go through the ebook and used websites to give the students
different varieties of uses of technology. I did a good job at teaching
the students how to use the eBook. For example, I showed the students
where the "Next" button was and how to use the links to go to the
websites. Also, I used the eBook and links to websites to teach the
students about the different community helpers. The students loved the
part about the firefighter, especially because of the linked video. I
feel that the students did the best on their artwork because the video
really reached them.
2. State evidence to show that
your students gained knowledge during your Mini-Research eBook
Lesson. (*To receive full credit description must include a minimum of
two
sentences and a detailed example.)
The students loved the pictures of the
people doing their jobs and how they were real and not cartoon. I feel
that the students connected when they saw the picture of their teacher,
Mrs. Thompson, under the community helper teacher. It really helped the
students to relate who a teacher really is. Also, I observed that
students really liked learning about the firefighter. I believe that
the students learned the most from this page of the eBook. The students
did their best artwork on this community helper and was able to
describe the firefighter the best.
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.)
To help improve this lesson I could
have discussed more of the outfits that each of the community helpers
wear. This would have really helped the students for their thumbprint
activity. Although, one of the students did notice the clothing in the
pictures without guidance and drew them in her picture. For example,
the students and I could have pointed out in the pictures what all you
would find each of the community helpers wearing.
