    Maine Learning Results English Language Arts B) Writing B1) Interconnected Elements Grade 9-diploma Students use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communicate with the target audiences for specific purposes.    I will formatively assess through observation (are they prepared, are they doing work, etc.) and through reading their blogs. From their blogs I will seek out answers to questions and know who needs more attention and who is getting by just fine. I will keep an observational journal to track participation. Preparedness means having the proper equip (Garage Band on laptop, column, section to record, pictures, etc). I will track them formatively by setting a participation grade of 10 pts per day during this lesson. I will also make an effort to comment on each blog they write-up for this lesson because feedback is a great motivator.  I will assess in a summative manner by a rubric of both oral and podcast nature. This is the biggest portion of the unit and is worth 185 points. The students will be using everything taught in the lesson and must hand in the column, podcast, peer reviews and self review along with graphic organizer. I am going to photocopy everything so that the students will have it for their final portfolio. In the rubrics I look at 5 different categories in each. For the podcast rubric, I look at the duration of the presentation, emotion, points of view, voice, economy, and soundtrack while in the oral rubric, I look at the content, time-limit, enthusiasm, preparedness, posture/eye contact, and attire.  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be working on this project solely on their own, so there will be no groupings per say, but if they want the input of their peers they can feel free to ask at anytime. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">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: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">On the first day of this lesson, I will emphasize the importance of being at class because for those who don’t have access to a laptop, it will be difficult to do work at home. But, I am not a babysitter and a due date is a due date, so they will not have a “buddy” for this project because they work solely on most of it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">If students have concerns about the due date, they must take to me after class or send me an e-mail. Placing concern in a blog will also attract my attention. I will try to accommodate when “stuff” comes up. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I thought of this lesson on my own. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Think Pad Brainstorming and Round Table are cooperative learning techniques that I took from [].

Students do not need to use each chart; they can find “the one” that suits them best and use it as a guide. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Maine Learning Results <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">English Language Arts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">B) Writing B1) Interconnected Elements <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Grade 9-diploma <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communicate with the target audiences for specific purposes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Facet: Application <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will formatively assess through observation (are they prepared, are they doing work, etc.) and through reading their blogs.

I will not answer questions immediately because I want my students to learn on their own and through communicating with peers. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">My classroom will be setup in five rows of four with my desk faces the students back so that I have a clear view of the laptops. The students will be facing the white board. I will not permanently be at my desk, but walk around constantly to get the point of view and opinions of my students. I am there as an advisor to help them move from step-to-step to reach their final goal of being the contest winner for “G” Magazine based in NYC and edited by the famous Ms Deville. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be working on this project solely on their own, so there will be no groupings per say, but if they want the input of their peers they can feel free to ask at anytime. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: Blog (“What section did you pick and why?”) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: start recording podcast if you like <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">**Blog: “How is work going so far?”** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">DAY 3: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: work on podcast <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">DAY 4: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: be prepared, read over public speaking tips and blog on how useful they were <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Blog: “Are you satisfied?” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: Blog “Were you satisfied with feedback?” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Homework: same as DAY 5 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will understand that the best papers apply aspects such as diction, voice and appealing to the audience. //Students use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communication with the targeted audience for the specific purposes.// Students will learn how to make a Podcast by using Garage Band and telling a story in a voice suited for the audience.

A way of pre-testing would be introducing Garage Band and getting to know what they know about how to use it already. They will be put into round table groups to discuss the pieces that they chose to podcast and think pad brainstorm groups to figure out if the piece is suitable to the student and works for their voice. During the cooperative learning groups, students will discuss what they will be doing for the podcast. Students will get feedback from their podcast on note cards before the final product is complete and presentations are performed. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A way of pre-testing would be introducing Garage Band and getting to know what they know about how to use it already.

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Standard 3 - Demonstrates 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: 12pt;">Beach ball: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">spontaneous, need of personal freedom, choice of activities, and adaptive environment

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Microscope: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">analyzing concepts, deep exploration, focus on details, ownership and discussions
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Puppy: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">comfortable environment, encouraging atmosphere, safe climate, empathic listeners, and sensitive peers
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will provide an adaptive environment, clear procedures/expectations, ownership and a comfortable environment throughout this lesson. Students will know step-by-step what they should do and how they will go about getting there. They will also have the satisfaction of “owning” their work while doing so in a place that they want to and feel comfortable doing so and be able to be spontaneous in their movement, location, actions, etc. as long as they do not hurt others.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">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: 12pt;">Rationale: //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">MI is used to get everybody involved and learning. I tried to get the students motivated in all the ways that will accommodate them. These MI’s include interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, visual, naturalist, and kinesthetic. Hopefully, these interventions will spark the interests of all my students at once and get them engaged and motivated.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Students will get more out of the project by being able to view the two rubrics first. They will not be graded on the process (expect participation) because it is the final product and a combination of how they got there that matters (blogs, graphic organizers, column, preparedness, etc). I believe grading on the final product is the most accurate part and allowing a re-do to the column allows expectations to be met and students to put forth their greatest effort.

 * [|Round Table] ****  This is a type of cooperative learning in which a table group will form by counting heads and they will discuss the progress of their podcast.  **
 * [|Think Pad Brainstorming] ****  This is another cooperative learning in which the same round table groups form and brainstorm on the section that peers think would be the best section to publicize through the use of Garage Band.  **
 * [|Sequence Chart] ****  This is a graphic organizer that students can choose to use to set up their step-by-step process.  **
 * [|Time Line Chart] **** This is a second organizer for the same purpose.  **
 * [|Step-by-step Chart] ****  And here is another organizer to collect data and get organized.  **
 * *Students have a choice as to which graphic organizer they use, but one must be implemented and handed in with the column and podcast. **
 * *Graphic organizers are in the folder in the front of my classroom. **
 * *Students can use as many as they’d like as long as the podcast is being created as well. **
 * *My observation journal is on the right side of my desk and also list tips of Garage Band and the blog prompts. Please take notes in the observation to journal to track **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">misbehaviors and great work from students, because participation is determined by my observations.
