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 Counting.
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.) We are going to be counting some items you may
see when you eat at one of your favorite restaurants, Burger King. When
we are fininshed reading the book we will do an activity. In this
activity, you will become a Burger King employee, just like me.
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 different websites that will help you practice counting. We
will turn the first page of the eBook. (Help students navigate to the
first page) Once everyone is on the 1st page, read aloud(going in a
left-to-right motion) what is on the page. Give the students five minutes to
play the game attached to this page. Direct students to navigate back
to the ebook, and on to the 2nd page.Once everyone is on the 2nd page,
read aloud(going in a left-to-right motion) what is on the page. Give
the students five minutes to
play the game attached to this page. Direct students to navigate back
to the ebook, and on to the 3rd page.Once everyone is on the 3rd page,
read aloud(going in a left-to-right motion) what is on the page. Give
the students five minutes to
play the game attached to this page.Ask the Direct students to
navigate back
to the ebook, and on to the 4th page. .Once everyone is on the 4th
page,
read aloud(going in a left-to-right motion) what is on the page. Give
the students five minutes to
play the game attached to this page. Direct students to navigate back
to the ebook, and the last page is the eBook activity.
Check for understanding
Students with either the teacher's or preservice teacher's assistance
will read the Mini-Research eBook,
explore, and
discuss
the games in the four linking websites that go with the
Mini-Research eBook. Explain to the students that each portion of
the eBook is to help them understand how to count using real life
things. Ask the students these questions while on the coinciding page.
1. After the students have
returned from playing the game, ask the students how many crowns are in
the picture.
2. After the students have returned from
playing the game, ask the students how many sunglasses are in the
picture.
3.
On the website linked to this page, the students played a detective
horse and
counted the number of animals necessary to play the game. Ask the
students what was their favorite animal (answers may vary), and
how many animals did they have to look for.(Six)
4. On the linking website, they
are counting the number of fish that stays on the screen. After
watching the student do it once before, ask them on the next batch of
fish, how many are in the picture.
Practice and feedback related to the
PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to
students that
they
are going to be Burger King
workers, just like their Preservice teacher. Also, tell them that they
have a very important task to do.
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. Allow the students to navigate back to the page that
has ten items on it (page 2) if they need help seeing what ten
manipulatives look like. Read aloud the
instructions on
the Mini-Research eBook activity page with the students in a
left-to-right motion. Emphasize to the students the importance of
making sure to count the number of items they create to make sure they
have enough.

Mini-Research
eBook Real World Activity
Today, just like me, you are going to be a Burger King employee. There is going to be a class of Pre-k students coming to eat lunch with us. Please help me make sure I have all of the items to make the Kid's meal. You need to have: * ten Kid's meal bags * ten toys * ten fry holders * ten burgers * ten drink cups Draw the toys, fry holders, burger, and drink cups. If you need some ideas of what the items look like, look at pages 2, 3, and 4. Cut out each item. Count each item that you drew to make sure you have ten of each item. I will give you the bags to put them in. You have to make sure that you have enough of everything for each child! We will put them in the bags to give to the children. Thank you so much for helping me with this big problem. |
[Students will write (or dictate to teacher) information to be included
in
their Mini-Research eBook
project.
While
students are completing Mini-Research eBook project, teacher
will observe students and give assistance when needed.]
Step Three
Closure:
Have students discuss their feelings on the 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, with parent's or teacher's
permission. If possible, provide the links to your students. Explain to
students
that you are going to put their pictures and information
on the Internet and they will be able to share their Burger King
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.)

Comments & Reflections:
Assessment for the
Primary Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
Student will be assessed through
observation, oral discussion, and developed product to
evaluate if student: recognizes some things in the sky that
return to earth
and some things in the sky that do not return to earth. (Use information from your PLO at top
of page of this lesson.)
| Level 3 | Level 2 | Level 1 | |
| PLO: Students will be able to count the number of manipulatives | Student with teacher guidance is able to count some of the manipulatives to a certain | Student with teacher guidance is able to count to a certain number with the manipulatives | Student is not able with teacher guidance to count the manipulatives to any number nor at all. |

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 |
3 |
BK was able to count the
manipulatives on every page to get to the right number. On some pages,
she required assistance to count by one-to-one correspondence. |
| 2 |
2 |
AG was able to count the
manipulatives up to the number 15. After this number, she required
assistance in continuing to count. |
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.)
This lesson was an example to students
that technology can be used to help them learn. Also, it showed the
students that they have to use math in everyday activities. Although
fast food jobs have the stereotype that you do not have to have an
education to work there, this lesson shows that you do. This activities
in this lesson were great ways to show integrated technology. I felt as
if teaching this real world activity provided the children with a lot
of information.
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.)
BK was able to slow down her counting
to maintain the counting by one-to one correspondence. AG was able to
count to 20 by the end of the lesson.
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.)
I would provide more mathematical
examples, such as we have to prepare a kids' meal that has chicken
nuggets in it. How many chicken nuggets do I have to count out to get
the right amount? This would show the children that you have to use
math in more than one real-world situation.
