Final+Lesson+Plan

Scenario: First grade teacher Ashley Barr contracts librarian Rebecca Neighbors for collaborative lesson. Rebecca has collaborated with Ashley and her team last year. Ashley expresses needing help with upcoming fairy tale unit in reading. Ashley is wanting to find a new way to present this information to her students, because they already have a lot of background knowledge about fairy tales. The students know the fairy tales that are part of the district curriculum. Ashley wants help in developing a lesson that takes their knowledge further than the district curriculum. The lessons will take place in the library. **Children’s or Young Adult Literature (fiction and informational books)** The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig By Eugene Trivizas The Three Little Javelinas By Susan Lowell Books collected by Mrs. Barr. **Websites (including pathfinders)** -Animated video of The Three Little Pigs on youtube. [] -Original version of The Three Little Pigs on the web. [] Websites located and bookmarked by Mrs. Neighbors. **Graphic Organizers** [|Venn Diagram] [|Story Train] Graphic organizers located Mrs. Barr and given to Mrs. Neighbors to make copies for the lesson. **Materials** rubric **Equipment** Interactive Whiteboard >> (A) identify moral lessons as themes in well-known fables, legends, myths, or stories; and (B) compare different versions of the same story in traditional and contemporary folktales with respect to their characters, settings, and plot >> (A) write legibly leaving appropriate margins for readability; >> (B) use capitalization for: >> (i) proper nouns >> (C) recognize and use punctuation marks, including: >> (i) ending punctuation in sentences **Information literacy (from the AASL Standards)** Standard 1: Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. 1.1 Skills. 1.1.2 Use prior knowledge as context for new learning. 1.1.6 Read, view and listen for information presented in any format (for example textual, visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning. 1.1.9 Collaborate with others to broaden and deepen understanding. Standard 2: Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. 2.1 Skills. 2.1.2 Organize knowledge so that it is useful. Standard 3: Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society. 3.1 Skills. 3.1.2 Participate and collaborate as members of a social and intellectual network of learners. Standard 4: Pursue personal and aesthetic growth. 4.1 Skills. 4.1.8 Use creative and artistic formats to express personal learning. **Educational technology** **Implementation** **Student-friendly Objectives** **Presentation** Mrs. Neighbors will play video of The Little Pigs from YouTube. Then Mrs. Barr will read the book online. Once the story is over the Mrs. Neighbors will show the students the story elements graphic organizer on the interactive whiteboard. Mrs. Barr will call on students to fill in the information in the graphic organizer. The class will be divided in half. Mrs. Neighbors will read The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig to half while Mrs. Barr reads The Three Little Javelinas to the other half. Each educator will fill in the graphic organizer with the information from the story variant. Then the students will switch to the other educator and complete the same process. **Student Participation Procedures** **Student Practice Procedures** **Guided Practice** Students will work with a partner to fill in the venn diagram comparing one of the variants to the original story. Both educators will check in with the groups as they work to make check for understanding and teamwork. **Closure** Educators will call on volunteers who would like to share information collected on the venn diagram. **Reflection** Students will evaluate their venn diagrams with a rubric given to them at the time they started the lesson. Mrs. Barr will grade students using the same rubric. Once rubrics are graded by Mrs. Barr, Mrs. Neighbors will be able to add any additional comments. **Extensions**(Moreillon 15) Moreillon, J. //Collaborative Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension: Maximizing Your Impact//.

 * Students will define elements of fairy tales.
 * Compare and contrast orginal fairy tales with story variants using a venn diagram.
 * Students write their own story variant.
 * **Collaboration**
 * Ms. Neighbors and Ms. Barr will work together to ensure full use of technology and full participation from students. Each teacher will answer questions from students and encourage creativity and enthusiasm in the culminating project.
 * **Assessment**
 * Students will actively participate in completing their Venn Diagrams using their rubrics as self-assessment tools.
 * **Standards (from the TEKS or other state standards)**
 * **Reading**
 * 2.4 Reading/Fluency. Students read grade-level text with fluency and comprehension. Students are expected to read aloud grade-level appropriate text with fluency (rate, accuracy, expression, appropriate phrasing) and comprehension

 * Interactive White Board
 * **Process**
 * **Motivation**
 * Explain to students that they hear conflicting stories all the time. They hear them on the playground, they hear them from siblings and on television. They need to know how to effectively analyze stories in order to discover any hidden messages or motivation behind the stories**.** We will start to do this today.
 * Watch video and listen to story.
 * Identify the story elements of The Three Little Pigs.
 * Identify the story elements of story variant.
 * Raise hands to add ideas to the graphic organizer.
 * Compare and contrast one of the variants with the orginal fairy tale using a venn diagram
 * Students write their own story variant of the Three Little Pigs using the Storybird program.
 * Using two different variations of the Cinderella tale, have students complete their own Venn Diagrams with partners using the Kidspiration program.
