Paint Pictures

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 wonderful Mrs. Moose and her Thanksgiving
Day guest.
After we read the book, A Turkey for Thanksgiving, then you will get
to draw
a
picture on the computer about the part of the book that you liked
best.
Introduction questions: Have you
been learning about Thanksgiving already this month? Does your
family ever have guest for Thanksgiving Dinner?
Relate lesson to students' lives today and/or future:
Mrs. Moose has prepared a Dinner for all
these People. What kinds of foods might you have for Thanksgiving
Dinner?
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, I,
Crocodile by Fred Marcellino
(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.) Share your Paint picture
and read the summary of your book to the students.
Estimated Time:
About 10 minutes
Step Two:
Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes
Explain to the students that you have selected a special book that
you are going to read to them. After we read our book then you
will
get todraw a picture on the computer of your favorite part of the
story.
Teacher will read book, A Turkey for
Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting,
to
students.
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.
Who does Mrs. Moose want to invite
to dinner?
Who gets sent out to find this dinner guest?
Why is the Turkey so scared?
Provide practice and
feedback related to the primary learning outcomes: Teacher
will ask at least two critical thinking questions: Can anyone
give me an example of how Mr. Moose might have been clearer about
inviting the Turkey to Dinner?
Can anyone tell me some things that are related to Thanksgiving that we
saw in the book?
Assist students to open the drawing program and demonstrate how to
use some of the drawing tools. Students will have some
exploration
time with the drawing program and teacher will assist when needed.
Students will draw a picture of their favorite part of the book, A Turkey for Thanksgiving, using the 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:)].
Estimated Time:
About 20 minutes
Closure:
Have students discuss their pictures and explain how they made their
pictures in the Paint program to their teacher
and peers. Have students discuss some of the interesting facts
about the Thankgiving holiday that you found in the
story. Ask students if they were going to draw
another
picture, 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 their 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 5 minutes
Assessment the Primary Learning Outcomes:

to control the computer and using 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.") This student has trouble staying on task
with ordinary work. This student likes to talk about things
unrelated to class. A new and challenging task like this may be
enough to keep his attention and help him complete the task. The
one on one ratio of student and computer may help him to be more
confident in completing individual work.
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. Teaching Students with short attention span and mildly disruptive behavior
3. Explain what you would add to this lesson plan to accommodate your special student? This student responds well to one on one instruction but I feel that we should be steering toward more independent working habits. A Clear explanation and possibly sitting in close proximity to the student may aid in a more focused attention.
Reflections:
1. Describe and give examples of how the students were
engaged
in learning and responded during your lesson. After
reading the book, I turned the two students around and showed them my
paint page of my paint picture. After explaining how to begin
using the paint lesson the students begin eagerly. Constantly
they were changing mediums and experimenting to find out how they
work. If they did not understand one thing they would immediately
ask. All was going very well until one student found out how to
clear all and begin again. Each student would draw a picture and
then erase it to make a better one. Each time they remained on
task, still drawing the part of they story they liked. I allowed
them to experiment with pictures until they had five minutes left and I
told them they could not erase again. When time was up I
ask them to stop. One student began to cry because she wanted to
keep working with the program. In my opinion, that is very engaged in
the learning experience. I ask them questions through out the
lesson and they eagerly developed ideas about the story.
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. (Give
specific
examples (as evidence) that illustrate how your students did for each
part
of the lesson's assessment.)
a. Technology Integration:
Student One: This
student used several techniques with the paint program and understood
exactly how to use them. Satisfactory
Student Two: This
student explored and ask questions and also discovered how to erase and
clear the page without aid. Satisfactory
b. Language Arts:
Student One:
This student remembered many details and parts of the story.
Satisfactory
Student Two: This
student explained what the characters could have done differently to
change the story. Satisfactory
c. Fine Arts:
Student One:
This student used available mediums on paint to create a unique
picture. Satisfactory
Student Two:
This student used the colors and tools to create a picture.
Satisfactory
3. Describe what you would change or do different if you taught
this
lesson again.
I would allow students to review with the book to look at the pages
before and during the computer exercise to help them clear up any
questions about colors or shapes.
