Lesson 10

media type="custom" key="11163940"

Description of lesson: This is a thinking ahead and life skills lesson. Students will view the above presentation to think about where they have been, and expand on ideas of other places to go. This is creating a positive outlook on the world around us for an easier, better time of integration. Students will discuss places they would like to go, and how they will act there. Then students will create a project using Google tools about a place they would like to visit, and share it with the class.

Assignment: Students will use Google tools to discover or learn more about a place in the city they would like to visit. They will draw or download a picture of this place to share with the class, with an emphasis on one of our lessons from the unit: behavior, stranger danger, getting lost, etc.

Resources/materials needed: Prezi presentation, internet access, computer lab, paper and crayons, projector, speakers.

Technology reflection: The Prezi provides a quick, colorful look at the world around us, using sound and pictures to capture interest and promote ideas. Google tools furthers this idea by allowing students faster, easier access to achieving their goals.

Evaluation: The use of Google tools will be a heavily assisted lesson. I am hoping students can get the idea that they can look at new places, rather than a really intensive knowledge of the tools. I think encouraging the students to try things outside of their comfort zone will be important here, both for the technology and the actual places to travel.
