Lesson 2

My Day Timeline media type="custom" key="10721852"

Description of lesson: I will use the above timeline tool to describe all the things we might do in a day. Then we will talk as a class about our days, putting in order from first to last all the things we do. Using printed pictures of the ones above, the students will put together a timeline of their day.

Assignment: In class, we will order our day by being able to pick out three to five pictures of activities we do, and place them in the order they occur.

Resources/materials needed: Projector, internet, capzles.com timeline tool, printed laminated pictures of daily activities.

Technology reflection: The linear, video-like quality of Capzles timelines allows students to connect visually the idea of 'one thing comes after another.' Students remain focused and engaged with the use of sound, motion, and color in the tool.

Evaluation: I'm concerned the students will just copy what I have in capzles, instead of thinking of how their own timelines go. I want to focus on life skills here, getting them used to the idea of a routine so that they will be able to perform more independently later.
