The lesson plan that I chose from my inclusion class last
semester had to deal with teaching the concept of Point of View. The lesson is
targeted towards a class of ninth grade students. In this particular class
there is a student who is social maladjusted and needs more guidance. In this
lesson the students are in the process of reading “To Kill a Mockingbird”, by
Haper Lee. In order to better illustrate the importance of acknowledging point
of view, the story “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs” by Jon
Scieszka is integrated into the classroom. The students will conduct and
complete multiple activities utilizing both the “True Story of the Three Little
Pigs”, and well as the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”. The integration of
technology during this lesson will help the students better relate to the
material, as well as better relate the material to their lives. The lesson will take place over the
course of three days.
During session one, the students will simply
be introduced to the concept of Point Of View. The instructor will lead the
class discussion on the reading of the “True Story of The Three Little Pigs”.
After the story is read through during the class time, the students will be
expected to take part in a dialogue pertaining to Point Of View present in the
story. This will require them to pick out specific words, phrases, and tones
from the writing. By looking at the different words and phrases, the students
will be able to better see who’s point of view the particular passage is from.
Because of this requirement, the standard RL.9-10.4. is utilized. The standard
calls for students to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are
used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings. By
incorporating technologies such as an iPad, the Internet, and a projector; each
student will be able to have their own copy of the story. This is important in
this particular lesson because of the student who suffers from being socially
maladjusted. By utilizing these different technologies, the teacher will be
able to display the examples of point of view on the main projector. This will
help the student who is socially maladjusted better visualize the concepts at
hand. Through the use of these technologies, I integrated the NETS-S standard
1. C. This standard calls for students to use models and simulations to explore
complex systems and issues. By using the iPad and the projector, the students
will have more diverse classroom experience. There will be a homework
assignment presented to the students where they will be asked to take a short
passage from the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” and rewrite it from a different
characters point of view. If the time allows for it at the end of class,
students will be able to start the assignment before they leave and utilize the
instructor for additional assistance.
In session two, the students will be expected
to present their homework assignments to their choice of either small groups,
or the whole class. They can present their assignment using either the digital
media accessible such as the smart board, or the projector. This will be a way
for the instructor to evaluate the students understanding. It will incorporate
the standard RL.9-10.a where they need to cite strong and thorough textual
evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as
inferences drawn from the text. This will only take the first quarter of class
leaving them plenty of time to move into their group activity. This activity
will require them to utilize the Internet and social media sights. This will
utilize the NETS-S standard 2.A where the students need to interact and
collaborate with peers and use a variety of digital environments and media. The
students will be informed that this activity will carry into the final class
session and be graded. The students will need to create a new character to be integrated
into the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”. They will need to create a complete profile
for this student and make sure to fully grasp their character traits. They will
then need to write either a narrative or a skit from this new characters point
of view. This part of the lesson will also require the communication portion of
the standards. In accordance with NJCCCS SL 9-10.1, the students will need to initiate
and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with each
other. Through the use of the different technologies, the students will also
need to adhere to the NETS-S standard 6A and 5A: Understand and use technology
systems; advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of technology
Finally in session three, the students will showcase their
understanding of point of view through the technology provided in the
classroom. They can use any blogging site, social media, or profile system that
they used to create their new character in their presentation to the class.
This is the product section. The students need to show their understanding. The
standard SL9-10.5: Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual,
graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance
understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest is
utilized, as well as NETS-S 2 A. where they need to interact and collaborate
and publish with peers.
