 * UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON

     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.    Students will be formatively assessed through observation on their diligent work and preparedness. I will keep a log as to how they use their class time wisely, if they bring the proper materials (graphic organizer, Inspiration tool, laptop, paper, sharpened pencil, etc) to each class period and how much they get done during the 80 minute class time and for homework. I will also read blogs to see if issues arise (lack of motivation, not sure where to start, problems, questions, concerns, etc). I will reply to each comment and if the student needs more one on one help, I will be able to gain that through the blog and meet with the student during class time. The formative assessment allows me to seek out if the student needs more attention, more time or if the limitations are well set. This assessment will work different for each student. The assessment will require the students to blog each day and for my log to be kept up to date. The only actual grade given to this form of assessment will be through participation. They will also turn in 3 papers in the end, one will be self-edited, and one peer edited by 3 people in different inks, and one the final copy. The formative assessment will also be based on the peer editing that takes place during class.  Students will be graded in a summative format after the paper is turned in. I will first, give them the rubric so that they are aware of the expectations. The rubric includes grammar & spelling, voice, content, organization, sentence structure and the introduction. This will be 130 points of the final grade. There is no length limit in the column, but the student must be able to talk intelligently about the subject for 6-8 minutes and make a podcast that lasts 5-8 minutes for lesson 6, so they must keep that information in mind. The columns will be handed back during their next class period and I will allow them to make changes for when they hand it in during the next lesson for another grade. So, this lesson will be graded twice ultimately. They must also hand in 3 copies to be graded. The peers that edited for them will get points for each paper they edited. If all pieces are not handed in, they start with a 110 instead of a 130. <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;">There will be no grouping for the actual writing of the paper. Students will use their intrapersonal skills to write a column with their graphic organizers as guides. This is a type I product in which nobody can really help in the process because peers and I do not know where the student wants to go. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">During peer editing process, we will be setup in a U-shape and each student will pass their papers once to the right and we will do this three times total so that the students get the input of their peers before handing in a final product. In the peer editing process students will also be able to use the skills they learned in lesson 4’s (good editor Vs bad editor) Comic Life. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">They will have to hand in a self-edited copy as well as the peer edited copies. <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 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. If they miss peer-editing day they are still responsible for 3 peers to edit their papers. If a peer cannot do it and they get my permission through e-mail or a conversation, they will be able to have a sibling, parent, guardian, cousin, aunt/uncle, and etc. peer-edit for them. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">All graphic organizers will be placed in a folder in the front of the classroom in case they misplace their own or need another. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">For the week we are doing this lesson, I will allow students to stay later or come in earlier to class to catch up. For this week, I will show up at the school at 7 am and not plan to leave until 4 pm, so they will be supervised if they have questions and be able to work if they are not accessible to a laptop outside of school hours. <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 by myself. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I got the 5 W’s Chart, Idea Wheel and Planning Chart organizers on the eduplace.com. These graphic organizers will be used to organize data and setup a plan for how to start each paragraph. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I got the team-pair-solo and 3-minute review forms of cooperative learning and explanation of setup from []. This is a website designed for teachers to find out how to group learners for different activities. The team-pair-solo will come in handy when peer editing and the 3-minute review is for me to gather information from the students on what their goal is and how they are determined to get to their destination. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Inspiration tutorial is found on [] and is 35 pages of information reminding students on how they make an Inspiration graph. I list this here in case they forgot from lesson 2, but they should still have their graph they created to follow in the column making process. I also place this here so I can scroll to the correct part when they have questions (how to print, make colors, put animals, etc) because all the information from the unit will be part of their final portfolio and they may want to change the order of things as they go along, they may even change the genre of their column all together. <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;"> <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;">Students will be formatively assessed through observation on their diligent work and preparedness.

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 a U-shape so that each student can see the white board and my desk. This setup will come in handy in both the peer and self-editing process and the writing process itself. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">There will be no grouping for the actual writing of the paper.

I will show off columns from past classes (with permission) to get students motivated for the lesson. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will know how to write in a type 1 manner by writing a column in the genre of their choice. They will be given 5 W’s Charts, an Idea Wheel, and a Planning Chart to organize their ideas properly. The framework will be their INSPIRATION chart made in lesson 2 and the blogs that they have kept on an ongoing basis. They will be setup in groups as a team-pair-solo to edit each other’s papers and then edit their own paper. I will conduct a 3-minute interview with each student throughout each class period to track progress and such. The team-pair-solo will allow students to learn how to edit for themselves and others while the 3-minute review will get them talking about their genre and column with an authority figure. Students will get feedback from their peers and be able to fix mistakes before handing in the column. In fact, it is required that they get feedback from at least 3 peers. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">They will be setup in groups as a team-pair-solo to edit each other’s papers and then edit their own paper.

My journal is on the right hand side of my desk next to the attendance chart. The journal is also used to write observations, so if you see any misbehavior or notice great work from students, please take note. The student’s participation grade is based on the observations I seek out throughout the day. Blogs are found on blogger.com or on my class wiki. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Students do not have to use all the graphic organizers, one is sufficient. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*To find notes on peer and self editing, please refer to lesson 4 on my class wiki, all the steps are laid out! <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Students know they must work, good luck and enjoy your day.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Visual: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Allowing furniture to be rearranged so that they can “focus” in a happy zone or a place suitable to write diligently.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Musical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Allowing them to listen to music that pertains to their genre (sport theme songs if it is a sports column, etc.) so that they can be alone and absorbing information on their topic.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Intrapersonal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Giving students 5 minutes of “quiet” time to process what they are going to write about that day as well as the process of writing the column itself solely and editing the first draft.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Clipboard: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">organized, structured, visual directions, clear procedures/expectations, and consistent routines
 * <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 allow personal freedom, an organized structure, ownership as well as a comfortable, encouraging and safe atmosphere through the use of peer and self-assessment, choice of own genre and rearrangement of furniture for a comfortable work setting.
 * //<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;">Facet: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Interpretation
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I first taught the essence of organization (Inspiration), good and bad editing skills (Comic Life), plagiarism and copy right laws (Imovie), and the different genres (slideshow) so that they would be able to create a column in a genre of their choice. This brings interconnected elements to life in showing how each part creates one product. Without the learning of the lessons in sequential order the student would never get to this point in knowledge.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Logical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Being organized and keeping track of all date handed out through the unit (graphic organizers, information from Comic Life, slideshow, graphs, etc.) and having a step by step plan from beginning to end.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Verbal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Using the right words to portray what you are saying and backing up with emotion in the genre they chose to write for their column.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Visual: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Allowing furniture to be rearranged so that they can “focus” in a happy zone or a place suitable to write diligently.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Musical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Allowing them to listen to music that pertains to their genre (sport theme songs if it is a sports column, etc.) so that they can be alone and absorbing information on their topic.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Intrapersonal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Giving students 5 minutes of “quiet” time to process what they are going to write about that day as well as the process of writing the column itself solely and editing the first draft.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Interpersonal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The process of editing 3-peers papers and giving the feedback each paper truly deserves.
 * //<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, verbal, and logical. 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;">Formative (Assessment for Learning) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Summative (Assessment of Learning) **
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I came up with this lesson to see how well the students can write a column and peer/self edit the work. Blogs, my observation journal, rubrics and peer edited copies will all be evaluated in this process to see how organized students can stay throughout the lesson.

 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __**
 * [|Team Pair Solo] ****  This is a cooperative learning technique in which we will use to conduct the peer and self-editing process. The table will be setup in a U-shape and we will disregard the team and pair so to speak, since it will be random “triplets” editing. Each student will edit the person to the rights paper. After 23 minutes the paper will be passed again and then once more. The students will be able to ask questions and tell concerns and are encouraged to write notes on the papers in red ink and placing initials next to each comment. The solo comes in to play on day 5 when they edit their own paper and make more crucial changes.   **
 * [|Planning Chart] ****  This is one of the graphic organizers that they will be given to organize data. It plans out step by step as to what each paragraph will revolve around, including transitions, flow, proper wording, etc.   **
 * [|3 Minute Review] ****  This is the tool I will use to interview each student. I do not want any conversation to go over 3 minutes. This interview is basically to get a sense as to where the students are going. I will start interviewing those students who are less engaged and less motivated to learn.   **
 * [|Idea Wheel] ****  This is another graphic organizer that will be used to place ideas to come up with a plan. This is helpful in coming up with a topic (what interests me, what do I want to tell others about, what can I write a lot about). This idea wheel can be based on sports, outdoors, political views, etc. and students are allowed to take as many as they want as long as they are writing and coming up with ideas.  **
 * [|5 W's Chart] ****  This is the third graphic organizer I will give out. It is based on the Who, What, When, Why, and Where. It sets up questions for students to follow to make valid points and get there swiftly and diligently.  **
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">[|**substitute lifesaver**] **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">This is for you to fill out about how your day without me when, so I can manage my class when problems arise and to advise students where I need to for next time I am absent.
