Plants and animals can be sorted
according to their structures and behaviors.
With some guidance and support from adults, use
technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as
to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of
keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.
TTL1: 1.1.1
Generate ideas and
create original works for personal and group expression using a variety of
digital tools.
In
my 4th grade introductory lesson I would integrate Science,
technology, and writing (ELA). Students will learn how animals are grouped,
based upon their structure. This 1 week lesson would allow for students to
study animals with backbones (vertebrates) and without backbones
(invertebrates). During the Science aspect, students will perform labs to
investigate multiple species of animals and how their structures differ and
analyze why. Students will learn the differences amongst different subgroups of
animals within the two major groups: vertebrates and invertebrates.
As
part of the activity for this lesson, students will create and publish a music
video using iMovie. The ELA aspect of this lesson will require students to
collaborate within groups to produce a song to represent the differences
between the two major groups of animals. Using their knowledge gained from
their Science lesson, students will write a 1-minute song highlighting key
ideas of the two groups.
Once
their song has been written and verified for correctness by the teacher, the
students will record their song. Students will use digital tools, ie. cell
phone recording app, iMovie, internet, to produce their music video. With
guidance from the teacher, their song will be uploaded in the iMovie application,
and students will edit and trim song while importing images as a background to
their song to visually illustrate their piece. Once their music video has been
completed, they will publish their video to the school’s website and share
during an in class presentation.
