T.I.E Lesson Plan

For my lesson I am planning on incorporating the use of voice threads. I am teaching 2nd grade and they will be learning about comparing and contrasting. I will read to the students two different versions of the gingerbread man story. They will be comparing and contrasting the two stories throughout the lesson. Their independent practice consists of the students creating their own version of a gingerbread man story. Within the story they will make one comparison and one contrast. They will write their creative story as well as illustrate it. My plan is for the students to use voice threads to record their story. I will be taking pictures of their illustrations which will be shown while they are telling their story. By doing this it will allow students to get credited for their write by allowing others to hear their story. This will also help them with their fluency and comprehension by hearing themselves read a story.
