They will log onto our Moodle online classroom and create a wiki page under the subheadings of natural science, space, and earth science. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The students will post a page explaining what the book was about and examples of what the author’s purpose was for writing the story. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">When the students have posted their pages they are to visit 5 other student’s wiki pages and agree or disagree with their examples. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Library, Computer Lab, Moodle software. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> MONITOR || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Ongoing assessment(s): I will monitor the postings online to see if they are on task and communicating about their findings. I will note which students do not complete assignments. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Accommodations and extensions: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students who are struggling navigating or posting can have a peer help them in the lab.

EVALUATE AND EXTEND || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Lesson reflections and notes: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">This lesson is an extension of our main idea and supporting details lesson. I want the students to go beyond just posting a discussion and start to evaluate each other’s work and comment on them in a respectful way. This lesson will aid them with their next assignment of digital story telling because they will understand why author’s write stories and how to be very clear in their own writing.
