Teaching Strategies Whole group instruction
Casual crafting time
Quiet individual writing time
Whole group presentation
Teaching Procedures After the class is finished completing their pumpkin character I will have
them clean up and move back to their seats for quiet writing time. The
room will be quiet for 30 minutes for the students to write their story on
chrome books/google docs. They will share with me through google
docs and I will edit them and send it back to them to revise and publish.
These are SHORT stories so it should not take long for me to edit and
send back to them.
Modifications or I will work one on one with students who need individual help while the
Accommodations for other students are working silently on their stories. I will give students
students’ individual who need it extended time. I will repeat the instructions as need to the
needs students.
Summary & Closure I will tell the students that writing time is over to please listen while
they put away their Chromebooks. If they are not finished I will assure
them that they will get a chance to finish their writing. While they are
cleaning up their chrome books I will tell them that they are going to
get to read their short stories to the class and while they are reading
them aloud and showing off their creations I am going to video them on
the Chromebook and play it on the interactive tv when their parents
come to family night!!!
LESSON CONTINUED I will continue the lesson to the next day to record the students reading
TOMORROW FOR their stories aloud. I will be sure to allow ALL students time to finish
RECORDING!! their writing throughout the day and the next day until time to read
them aloud to the class. After videoing the students I will put them all
into a PowerPoint to play for the parents during family night!!!
