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 a mother, her son, and how the son
grows up and does the same thing to his daughter that his mother did.
After reading the book, Love You Forever,
have students draw a picture on the
computer using a drawing program about the part of the book that they
liked
best.
Introduction questions: (Introduce
lesson topic/subject & find out students' previous knowledge with
four or more questions)
1. Have you ever read anybook about growing up and a parent's love?
2. If you were able to be the boy's brother or sisters, would you like
to
be the one being rocked back and forth and sang to?
3. Have you ever been rocked back and forth and sang to by someone that
loves you?
4. Can you tell me something about
growing up?
Relate lesson to students' lives today and/or future:
Love you Forever book will tell us some interesting
facts about lovein a family and stages of life. Explain to
students that while
reading this book,
maybe they could name some stages
that human beings go through. In addition, the stages of growth
information
will be helpful for our human growth projects.
Students contol the computer and go to your
Paint picture website. Explain how picture was developed on the
computer. Tell students they will draw a picture on the computer
about their favorite part of the book that you are going to read to
them.
(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 story summary. Ask students one or more critical thinking
questions about the ending of the story.
Critical thinking questions about ending of story (one
or more critical thinking questions):
1. When the son grows up and gets married
and has a child what do you think he will do?
Estimated Time:
About 10 minutes
Step Two:
Teaching the Primary
Learning Outcomes
Read selected book, Love You Forever,
by Robert Munsch to
students. After reading the book to the
students, have students draw a picture using a drawing program on
the computer of their favorite part of the
story.
Use
oral reading strategies, such as picture walk, to introduce the book to
students. While reading the book to students, discuss story with
students and ask questions to check for understanding of story.
Check for understanding before going on: (List four or more
questions to ask students while reading the book.)
1.What did the baby do when he was
two years old?
2.What did the mother do when the
baby was asleep?
3.What did the mother sing to her
son?
4.What did the son do to the
mother when she was old?
Provide practice and
feedback related to the primary learning outcomes: Teacher
will ask at least two critical thinking questions and take
notes of students' answers for lesson assessment.
1. If you were the child in the
story tell what would you do at the different stages of
growth?
2. If you were the mother,
explain what you would like to do to your child, and why you would like
to do that?
Guided Practice: Assist students to open the drawing program
and demonstrate how to
use some of the drawing tools. Allow students to have some
exploration
time with the drawing program and teacher will assist when needed.
Independent Practice: Students will draw a picture of their
favorite part of the book, Love you Forever,
using a computer drawing program. Tteacher
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:)]. If possible save
students' pictures on computers, just in case something happens to the
pictures on the disks.
Estimated Time:
About 25 minutes
Students will discuss their pictures and explain how they made their pictures in the drawing program to you. Have students discuss some of the interesting facts about the stages of growth that they found in the story. Ask students if they were going to draw another picture in the drawing program, 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 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 10 minutes

Accommodation
Links
for Accommodations for Special Students
1. Select one of your students that has special
needs from the conceptual factor information of your practicum
class. Describe the student in your class with special needs in
two or more sentences. My student with special
needs has difficulty following directions and
sitting still while on task. He has a low attention span and when he's
done an activity for five minutes, he stands from his seat, distruct
other students, or hits the table with his pencil.
2. Explain what you would add or change in this lesson plan to accommodate your special student? I would provide positive reinforcement for on-task behavior, attention, and participation
Reflections: (For
Electronic Portfolio Standard #4 Multiple Instructional Strategies )
1. a. Describe and
give examples of how your Paint lesson created learning
experiences and activities that
implemented a variety of instructional strategies.
Before reading the book I asked the students what they
could see on the cover of the page. Each student noticed something
different which helped the other student find it on the cover the
picture. The paint lesson was interesting to the students due to
the fact that they both love working on the computer. The lesson helped
the students have a broader imagination especially when they had to
draw the pictures. The students were also attentive and followed the
instuctions I gave them up until the finished drawing their pictures.
b. Describe and
give examples of how your Paint lesson encouraged students'
development of critical
thinking and problem solving.
The paint lesson encouraged the students to think. When I asked the
critical thinking questions, the students were able to think of
themselves in the story and tell me what they would have done. While
painting, one of the students learned that if she made a mistake, she
could go back and correct by deleting or by drawing another picture.
She ended up drawing another picture which she abosolutely loved.
c. Describe and
give examples of how students were engaged in learning and
responded during your lesson.
Give specific examples of what the students did to show they were
engaged in learning during
your lesson.
The students answered the questions I asked them while reading
the book. They also asked me some questions about what I would do if I
were in the story. I waited for them to tell me what they would do
before I told them my answer.When it was time for the computer, they
never wanted to leave. Infact one student drew two pictures because she
said that she did not like her first one.They both learned
something about love and actually memorized the line" I love you
forever" which they told their parents when they got home.
2. Describe and give examples that illustrate how the
students
achieved each assessment of your lesson.
Give the achievement
level (satisfactory or unsatisfactory)
List
specific
examples (as evidence) that illustrate how your students
on each
part
of the lesson's assessment.
A. Technology Integration:
Student assessed through observation while using the mouse
to control the computer and using the drawing program.
Student One:
Satisfactory. The student was able to control the mouse while using the
drawing program. He managed to use the mouse to select the colors and
also what tool to use when drawing
Student Two: Satisfactory.
The student did not have a problem using the mouse. She was able to
control the mouse well because she has used the paint program before.
She was able to select different colors and tools to use while drawing.
B. Fine Arts:
Student assessed by the development of a picture using the
drawing program.
Student One:
Satisfactory. I observed that the student could draw a picture and his
final result was proof to that.
Student Two:
Satisfactory. I observed that the student could use the drawing
program and she managed to draw a picture.
3. Describe what you would change or do differently if you taught
this
lesson again. (Give specific examples)
I would surely not teach the lesson immediately after the students have
done a paint lesson 10 minutes before. The students seemed tired and
restless thus I had to try get them to pay attention. I would also
choose different students if the only time I could do the lesson
was on that one day. Choosing different students can give a
chance to students who have never used a computer an opportunity to
learn something new.
