Description of lesson: The students are having a more in-depth lesson on stranger safety. Using the above linked Glog, students will remember techniques they have learned in the past about safety. Then they will begin to think critically about strangers taking many guises, and how to tell if it is safe or not. They will act out these ideas they have thought of with partners in front of the class, and discuss what they have learned.

Assignment: The students will view the video provided, as well as look at the other websites linked on the page. They will discuss different types of strangers as a class, and pair up to present a short skit about different types of strangers.

Resources/materials needed: Computer projector, internet connection, glogster.com computers, and paras for assistance.

Technology reflection: The Glog provides an engaging, interactive platform to present materials for student use. Research is fast and simple and therefore more motivational for students. Outside the classroom, students can still access the information to interact on their own and with parents.

Evaluation: This unit will require heavy teacher and para interaction, as making non-linear connections can be especially difficult in the special education classroom. I anticipate providing a lot of hints and ideas. Peer interaction can also be difficult, but hopefully the fun, skit oriented nature of the project will lead to easier socialization.
