<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Product:** Class Google Docs

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Maine Learning Results (MLR) or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Alignment__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Common Core Standards

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Content Area: Writing Standards

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Grade Level: 9-10

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Domain: Writing

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Standard: Text Types and Purposes

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Cluster: 3

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Rationale:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Google Docs allows the students to work together anywhere at any time, so it makes it a great palette to create and peer review each other.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Assessments__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Formative (Assessment for Learning)__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section I – checking for understanding during instruction**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Flag it-- this idea is that during insruction, rather then having students ask questions right away, they will write their questions down on a sticky note (flag it) and then go over it at the end instead. Students can write down questions, things to clear up, or something they want gone over a second time.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> There will be a checklist provided for the peer and student themselves.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Summative (Assessment of Learning):__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The Google Docs will be looked at with an analytical grading sheet.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Integration__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Technology:** Google Docs – The class will create and upload their own document and everyone will peer review the paper.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Content Areas:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Music - Listen to music and feel the emotions from the song.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Groupings__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Sense Chart graphic organizer and three minute review.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Section II – Groups and Roles for Product

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Pairs with their own equal roles. People will be doing their own Tumblr project, the pairs are only for proofreading.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Differentiated Instruction__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__MI Strategies__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Verbal:** Students will get a chance to discuss notes and what has been said.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Logical:** Students will reason why word choice matters, and why certain terms relate to others.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual:** Observe a picture or TV show and write down the words that come to mind.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Bodily:** Students will write their favorite words on the board and act out what it's definition means.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Musical:** Listen to a song and write down the emotions and words that come to mind.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Intrapersonal:** Class would go on a trip outside and find a place to relax. There we would brainstorm and come up with ideas for what it is exactly they want to say. Fill out the sense chart while out there.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Interpersonal:** As a class, brainstorm specific words to help portray a feeling. For example, what words best fit someone who is angry?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Naturalist:** Class would go on a trip outside and find a place to relax. There we would brainstorm and come up with ideas for what it is exactly they want to say. Fill out the sense chart while out there.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Modifications/Accommodations__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan) I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Plan for accommodating absent students:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Absent students will be expected to look on the wikispaces for homework. Making up classwork will work differently: all materials will be given to student that needs to be made up. If student is absent for longer than one or two days, e-mails will be sent with the worksheets that need to be completed. Ice cream scoop graphic organizer is based on prior knowledge, so it can be done at home easily. Group members will e-mail any class or project notes to their absent group member. Skyping is always a possibility.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Extensions__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Type II technology**: Google Docs – The class will create and upload their own document and everyone will peer review the paper.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Gifted Students:** Students will make a week long journal and it's solely for writing down feelings-- not what happened. Try to use variations. If you were angry on Wednesday, say you were furious Thursday, and then irritated Friday.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Materials, Resources and Technology__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //List all the items you need for the lesson.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__PART II:__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Teaching and Learning Sequence__** (Describe the teaching and learning process using all of the information from part I of the lesson plan) //Take all the components and synthesize into a script of what you are doing as the teacher and what the learners are doing throughout the lesson. Need to use all the WHERETO’s. (3-5 pages)//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Day one://
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance - 5 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Take a trip outside (5)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Begin with "just how important are words and when they are placed, anyway?" and give them the madlib hook. (15 minutes)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ask students to go write their favorite words on a paper (will soon act them out) (10 minutes)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Put students into clusters. Each group gets a picture and then writes down the words that come to mind. Will then share for the class. (15)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will then get a sense chart and put down words that go under the senses (15 minutes)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Last thing to do outside is to brainstorm alternative and more precise words that help readers. (limping opposed to walking, for example).
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learn Googledocs and how it works so students can work on it for the rest for class inside.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will listen to a song for homework and write down the feelings/emotions/words that come to mind and have it for next class, as well as working on their project. I'd also like at least a page.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Day two:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance - 5 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Go over the song feelings - (10)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Go over with each individual about their work so far while everyone else works on theirs - rest of the class

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Day three:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance - 5 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Peer grade by groups over Google docs

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Students will understand that...**. they must use precise words or details to fully impact the reader. Saying something exactly how you want to say it can be the difference between yes or no. There can be severe repercussions if you say something without thinking or it can "come out wrong." After the mandatory attendance, the class would take a trip outside. Class would begin with a short speech on saying word choice. Give a few humorous examples if you can. "In high school a friend of mine, a guy, was pulled over with his sister. He was so nervous he kept referring to himself as her sister instead of brother and other statements like "So, norry" instead of "no, sorry." After this, I would hand the students madlibs to further introduce word choice and allow students to see the importance as well as having fun with it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Where, What, Why, Tailors:** Linguistic, Intrapersonal, Natural

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Student will know...** word choice, description. How everything works and flows together.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Afterwards, I'd continue by the brainstorming of students' favorite words. There can be no right or wrong answer here, but it may take a while to narrow down the choices. It may help to have students brainstorm their top three words, and then narrow it down from there. Afterwards, I would try IMMENSELY to get the students to act out the words. This would either be a "turn to your partner" activity or small groups. I feel like attempting to get some students to act out "fraternize" in front of the everyone could be difficult because it has the potential to be an embarrassing activity, but being outside might five it a whole different atmosphere also. Soon after, the class would be separated into groups and given a picture. The pictures could be of anything: a pencil, a cat, a classroom. Students will brainstorm what words come to mind and then share with their group what words they came up with. To finally top off the whole brainstorming session this class has, I will give them the sense chart. It has a place for sound, touch, sight, etc. Students will fill this out based on the world around them. After finally completing all of this, we will head back inside.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Equip, Explore, Rethink, Revise, Tailors:** Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Linguistic, Bodily, Natural, Visual

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Student will be able to** analyze word choice and decide if it is appropriate. Inside, we would start to learn about the project. The project is a google doc that everyone will post their stories into. As a class, we will peer review each other. I will require that the students have about a page, maybe a little less, to do for homework. They should be able to point out the word choice that they chose to be very subtle but influential to the story. Also for homework, I'd like the students to listen to a song. While listening to it, I want them to write down the words that come to their mind, whether it's because of the song's theme, a repeating word, or something they gather from the music itself. We will share with the class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** Linguistic, Musical, Interpersonal,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will self-assess their work, and multiple peer assessments will take place as well. They will each have a checklist and analytical grading sheet to look at while going over each other's stories. I will look at everyone's stories and grade them based on if they did what was asked, not how "good" the story is.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Evaluate, Tailors:** Intrapersonal.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Content Notes__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will know…..

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Develop detailed content notes so a substitute or a colleague can teach your lesson. (2-3 pages)//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Connotation - an implied or subtle meaning of a word.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Denotation- the literal meaning of a word, the dictionary meaning

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Example - Goodnight, and your rest will never let you awaken. Connotation rest = death. Denotation rest = sleep.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Abstract words versus concrete words- words that can have an uncertainty around them are abstract words. Sometime as simple as walk can be this, because limp is the more concrete word of it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Vivid words- Words that give detail and allow the viewer to imagine them.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Imagery- words and language that evokes sensual feelings (including the senses) about the text. Text you can really "feel" or "experience."

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Handouts__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //List the items that need to be printed out for the lesson.//
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Madlibs //

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //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.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **//__Learning Styles__//**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Clipboard:// Will have a "suggestions" guideline checklist.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Microscope:// Microscopes will be able to look ahead and visualize the final product. They will have to use precise word choice to get their purpose across, and look at the finer details behind writing in order to full impact the reader.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Puppy:// We will be constructively criticizing each other, and as said in other lesson plans, anything I see that is even mildly resembling bullying or "unsportsmanlike conduct" will have penalties, and often severe ones.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Beach Ball//: The Madlibs and story choice allow for many possibilities. Beach balls will highly enjoy the variety of choice they will get//.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Rationale:// These four learning styles will have plenty of freedom to be creative, but also have a checklist to keep a handle and make sure the task is still at hand. There will be much interaction between each other, so the puppy will enjoy the positive environment.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Logical:** Students will reason why word choice matters, and why certain terms relate to others.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual:** Observe a picture or TV show and write down the words that come to mind.
