Phase+4-Design+Integration+Strategies

Students will have an overview of all the literary movements from their literature book in a PowerPoint I created. In order for students to have the foundational skills necessary to complete this lesson, the librarian and myself will provide the necessary skills for conducting effective research. We will go over online safety concerns and the criteria for credible resources on the Internet. I will model how to create a poster in glogster with the poster I created on American Romanticism. Students will work in cooperative learning groups researching as well as making their poster for their presentation.


 * Day 1**: I will show students the PowerPoint on all the literary movements. I will model how to construct a poster using glogster. Students will be assigned a partner and choose a literary movement.


 * Day 2**: Students will receive effective research instruction from the librarian and myself. I will walk students step by step through signing up with the education portion of glogster. I will have students invite their partner to their glogster site, so they can both work on the poster together. Students will receive guidelines for their literary movements project.

Here are the approved sites for American Literary Periods:

 * Days 3-5**: Using the information students collected from their research, they will create their poster in pairs. They must share responsibility in this project. They will be assessed with a peer and self assessment on their contribution for the poster. Students will receive rubric for creating their glogster poster.


 * Day 6**: Students will get instruction on how to give effective presentations. I will model how to present my own glogster poster. I will get another co-worker to share the presentation with me. Students will draw for their order in giving their presentations. I will provide students the rubric for their presentations and give them the rest of the class period to work on their presentations.


 * Days 7-8**: Students will give presentations. Each student will provide two evaluations on another presentation. I will provide guidelines to students on how to provide effective feedback.


 * Day 9**: Students will fill out peer and self assessments. Students will provide me with an evaluation of the lesson providing me feedback on what they felt worked well and didn't and their suggestions for improvement. As a class, we will discuss these evaluations.
