Document+Camera+Lesson+Plan

Students will be able to edit classmates’ writings using the document camera and smart board technology. ** Resources: ** · Document Camera · Smart board · Student writings · Computer/Laptop ** Procedure: ** (This will be a lesson that will continue for about 2 weeks. There will be time designated during the school day where two papers will be examined per day.) 1. Students will be given a writing prompt and will be asked to write two paragraphs. 2. When finished students will be asked to show their paper to the class using the document camera. 3. As a class we will examine the paper sentence by sentence. Based on seating arrangements, students will be asked to come to the smart board and make editing corrections. 4. When finished, the student can retrieve his/her paper from the document camera and make any corrections to their paper. 5. Steps 2-5 will be repeated until each student has shown his/her paper and received corrections. ** Assessment:  ** Students’ assessment will be informal. As they go to the smart board to make corrections I will make note of any mistakes they corrected or may have missed and will issue additional help to the class in editing if needed (additional worksheets). Once I feel they have a sufficient understanding of editing, I will give a test (using a sample writing) where they will have to make corrections. ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">21st Century Skills Goal:  ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The lesson meets the goal of communication and collaboration. The students are working together as a class to make corrections to a classmate’s writing. The class is learning to communicate ideas to their classmates using oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills. They may either chose to explain to the class the correction they are making or they may chose to simply write the correction on the smart board and return to their seat. Regardless of how they chose to communicate their ideas to the class, they are articulating ideas and thoughts to the class in order to inform and instruct the student whose paper is being corrected. ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">NETS*T Standard: ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My lesson meets the NETS*T standard of design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. As a teacher I used contemporary (digital) tools such as the document camera and smart board to promote student learning. The document camera and smart board are used in a way that as students correct the mistakes of their classmates’ papers, students are able to get real time feedback which allows them to manage their own learning and assess their own progress. Using the digital tools and resources, students are able to get out of their seats and make corrections which helps promote the learning of those students whose learning style is visual and active.
