Lesson 1

Lesson idea with description of student product:


Before the students begin the lesson activity, they will read a book together
as a class and discuss feelings and senses together. In this lesson, the
students will read a story of their choice from the library. They will write down
words and phrases from that book on a sheet of paper that express feelings
and appeal to the senses. They will then use this list to create a table in word.
The student will choose a clip art that they feel best expresses the feeling or
senses they choose. To make this even a more HOT activity, the student will
explain why they choose the clip art on the table.

Problem statement written as it will be described to students:
When reading, it is very important to identify the characters feelings and
senses throughout the book in order to understand what we are reading.
When we know how someone feels, it can make it easier for us to understand
their actions in the story. Knowing the appeal to senses is important to
understand details in the story. Today we are going to read a book of your
choice. As you read, you will make a list of the different feelings and senses
that you see in the story. After you read the story, you will take turns on the
computer creating a table that shows your list, a picture, and a description of
the picture.
Description of assessment strategy:
The students tables will be graded on (a) the layout of the table (b) accuracy
of the words describing feelings and senses (c) the clip art and the clip arts
descriptions. These categories will be graded on three levels of below
average, average, and above average.
