The subject my lesson will focus on is Sophomore- English, Reading, Writing, and Study Skills.
The learning goals for this lesson will be for students to use vocabulary that they have learned while reading their novel "Hex Hall" in different ways. Students will create a graphic novel of a chapter in the book.Once complete they will add their work to a class presentation.
Students are interested in the novel that we read in class. Students work with the novel vocabulary by defining the word, writing a synonym and antonym, using the word in a sentence, and drawing a picture. Students show a lot of interest in drawing depictions of the vocabulary words. Students constantly ask to share their artwork with the class. Creating a graphic novel will allow them to use their vocabulary in different ways while at the same time providing a presentation to their peers about what they got out of the novel.
Students will use Prezi to create their individual group chapter presentations. Prezi will also be used to create a class book presentation. Prezi is a web 2.0 tool that allows for easy collaboration.
Students will use a Pinterest board to upload pictures that they create about the chapter. Pinterest allows for shared boards that each member can add their contributions to.
I do not have a concrete list of activities or the chronological order they will go in yet.
Student learning will be assessed by using a project rubric so that there are clear expectations on each step of the assignment. Students will also be assessed by their peers with a peer evaluation form. One half of their grade will come from the peer assessment and the other half will come from their group project meeting the expectations the rubric provides.
