Lesson 9

The Story of Our Trip media type="custom" key="10722812"

Description of lesson: This is where all our prior lessons come together. Looking at pictures of our visit, we will discuss what we did (how we got there, how we behaved, what we saw). We will use our timeline skills to put the pictures in order. The students will speak a sentence about their favorite part, and their names into a microphone on my computer. I will organize the photos and sounds into the story book above. Then they can all look at the book they made.

Assignment: In class, the students will remember points from prior lessons. They will organize their timeline, and speak a sentence about what they liked most.

Resources/materials needed: Blown up photos of the trip, internet, projector, microphone, video recorder, littlebirdtales.com

Technology reflection: Little Bird Tales provides students with a way to see a cohesive story of past events, linking what happened to them in a visual, audible story line. It's interactive software keeps students engaged and active in their learning. It gives the students a finished product to share with family and friends.

Evaluation: Speech concerns: For children with speech disabilities, the above section of having students speak into a microphone. If they are not yet able to form clear sentences due to speech problems, they could just say their name, or vocalize while I say their sentence for them. A short video could be embedded into the story for any hard of hearing student that would be using sign language.
