TIE lesson plan update

I have decided to change a few things about my technology lesson. I will still have the students create voicethreads but instead of just reading their stories that they have created. I will be paring the students up, on the slide show their illustrations of their stories will be side to side. They will be comparing and contrasting their stories. They will be using key words that we talked about during the lesson such as; like, alike, same, different. similar, unlike. They will be comparing and contrasting either the characters, setting, plot, and problem between their two stories. Each story element is color coded they will chose the particular color depending on the story element that want to compare or contrast. This will give students more practice with comparing and contrasting.

  1. This is a great idea! I like how you are pairing the students up to compare their illustrations side by side. I'm confused as to what you mean by the choosing a particular color? Is this a comment identity that you are changing the color of?

  2. I love the idea of color coding the story elements. What a great way to easily identify them! I like the idea of the students working together. Will they each have a voicethread, or will they speak together on one voicethread? I wonder how independent your class is and how closely you will have to monitor your students to make sure they are not off task. I can picture some kids recording things that are, lets call it, "off topic".
    I hope all goes well!
