Maine Learning Results: English Language Arts A. Reading A1: Interconnected Elements: Comprehension, vocabulary, alphabetics, fluency. Grades 9-Diploma: //Speak// by Laurie Halse Anderson Students read and evaluate texts within a grade appropriate span of text complexity, by applying their knowledge and strategies of comprehension, vocabulary, alphabetics, and fluency. b: Demonstrate ownership of appropriate vocabulary effectively using a word in different contexts and for different purposes.
 * Establish Goals:** **(G)**


 * Rationale:** This lesson will help students relate new vocabulary to their life, and aid in allowing students to make their own connections to vocabulary next time they come across it.

__**Assessment**__

 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**
 * Cluster - Word Web graphic organizer, and participate in a blog bank via Blogger and Capzles.
 * Practice using the words in conversation daily.
 * Their graphic organizers will be checked during, or between classes to make sure they're on the right track.


 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

Students will be creating a blog using Blogger. They will be adding new vocabulary words weekly. This will be a place where they can come to any time of day, from any computer, to access.

__**Integration**__
Internet - Students will be using the internet to look up new vocabulary words and define them. This will be used in addition to text dictionaries in order to compare and contrast definitions. New vocabulary will range across many different concentrations.

Blogger - Students will be creating their first (or adding a new) blog. This blog will be used through not only this unit, but every unit this year. Students will use the blog as a digital space to add vocabulary words and definitions. They will also be linking good sites with definitions and/of lists of appropriate vocab words.

__Groupings__
participate in a blog bank via Blogger and Capzles. Groups will be chosen by eye color. Each group will present their five vocab words from the weekly list on Capzles. Each student must choose a specific word to create a visual representation to post on Capzles for discussion.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__

 * Verbal:** Students will blog and discuss their opinions on vocab words.
 * Logical:** Students will attempt to identify new words by using known root definitions.
 * Kinesthetic:** Students will be working with laptops.
 * Visual:** Students will be drawing illustrations of age-appropriate vocabulary.
 * Intrapersonal:** Students will complete the graphic organizers by themselves.
 * Interpersonal:** Students will comment on eachother's blogs.

( //**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.**//)
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

Students who are absent will need to meet with me individually to set up a blogger account and post the required vocabulary. They will need to look up the words at home and make at least one comment on each group's Capzle.


 * Extensions**

Students will be using Capzles. This allows them not only to post a blog/video/image/audio, but also to comment on eachothers' postings.

__**Materials, Resources and Technology**__
What resources will you need to gather prior to teaching? For students?

Pen Paper Laptops Dictionaries Projector Screen Handouts Rubrics

__Source for Lesson Plan and Research__
Self, with inspiration from my mentor teacher. He has used Capzles in his class for discussion. I have used Blogger for discussion. I decided to combine them, so my students could be exposed to more than one type of technology.

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

 * Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.**

__**Rationale:**__ (variety of resources, adaptive environment, various manipulative(s), choices of activities, spontaneity, extensions to activities and personal freedom), (organization, structure, visual directions, clear closure, sequential learning, clear procedures, consistent routines, clear expectations), (discovery learning, analyzing concepts, deep exploration, discussion, focus on details, ownership), and (comfortable environment, encouraging atmosphere, supportive grouping, safe climate, respectful colleagues, empathic listeners, sensitive peers)
 * Beach Ball** - Students will be able to create audio/video/visual/textual analysis and definitions.
 * Clipboard** - Discussion will be based around blogs and posted comments. This allows clipboard students to read the comments, instead of simply hearing them in everyday discussion. Also, the syllabus will be posted on the class wiki.
 * Microscope** - Discussion will revolve around posted comments and blogs.
 * Puppy** - Capzles comments will include feedback on presentation.

Consider how you used **Type II Technology**?

Internet - Students will be using the internet to look up new vocabulary words and define them. This will be used in addition to text dictionaries in order to compare and contrast definitions. New vocabulary will range across many different concentrations.

Blogger - Students will be creating their first (or adding a new) blog. This blog will be used through not only this unit, but every unit this year. Students will use the blog as a digital space to add vocabulary words and definitions. They will also be linking good sites with definitions and/of lists of appropriate vocab words.

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
Describe your role and the student’s role throughout the teaching and learning plan. MI’s and type II technology are integrated throughout the lesson.

Classroom desks will be arranged in a full circle. Students will have brought in their personal pictures. I will show my photos, and describe each person with their attributing adjective; this is my hook.
 * Introduction Paragraph**
 * Hook and explanation of hook time (~ 5 minutes)
 * Graphic Organizer Time (~ 20 minutes)
 * Blogging (~ 20)
 * Cooperative Learning Time (~ 20 minutes)
 * Production Time (remainder of class/homework/blog)


 * Where, What, Why, Hook, Tailor: Visual, Interpersonal **

__**Second Paragraph**__

Students will know proper spelling, use, and definition of age-appropriate vocabulary. In my hook, I will explain how I relate personal friends to different words and ideas (that happen to be age-appropriate vocabulary). Perhaps I will write different vocabulary on the back of each picture. Cluster - Word Web graphic organizer, and **Experience** participate in a blog bank via Blogger and Capzles.

Describe your instructional process to **Equip** students with the knowledge **(Students will need to know….)** see content notes How are you going to deliver instruction and interact with your students, so all students are learning. How will you check for understanding? Describe all your content in this paragraph or attach teacher content notes.

__**Third Paragraph**__

We will do an activity where the students need to make up their own **roots** and apply them to various words. In the cluster word web, students will choose a word and draw different pictures to illustrate the definition in as many people/places/things/ideas as they can, in addition to drawing a picture for an opposite word or definition. Students will need to apply one word to many different situations.

Students will be able to illustrate appropriate use of new vocabulary words.
4. **Rethink** Why is vocab important? **Revise** Do I really know how to properly use these vocab words? **Rehearse** Practice using the words in conversation daily. **Refine** What words should I have studied more?
 * Explore** and use a Cluster - Word Web graphic organizer, and **Experience** participate in a blog bank via Blogger and Capzles.

Describe how you will have students now **Explore/Experience** the Knowledge using high-order thinking. Describe the Facet (**Students will be able to do**…) and how you will facilitate the learning process. How will you group your students? What roles will you assign? Describe the process you will be using to have them show evidence of learning. What opportunities will students have to **Rethink, Revise and Refine** their product?

__**Fourth Paragraph**__

Their graphic organizers will be checked during, or between classes to make sure they're on the right track. I will also check to make sure all of their blogs are up and running and have at least one entry. It's imperative for blogs to be functioning and for students to understand how and why we blog for future blogging purposes and future lessons.

Describe how students will self-assess. How will you provide timely feedback to students? How does all this connect to any homework assignment and to the next lesson and to future assessment?
