Instructional Activities
Materials & Resources
Discuss the purpose/goal of Smartboard/projector
brainstorming before
with personal linoit
writing
logged in
Explain and demonstrate
the operation of linoit
Students then brainstorm
plot, characters,
illustration/picture ideas,
much like a storyboard

Notes: Class discussion, then independent work

MONITOR
Ongoing assessment(s): The teacher can watch online or walk around and
interact with students as they brainstorm for their stories

Accommodations and extensions: Extend by making a still shot movie

complete with illustration/pictures instead of just using linoit for a brainstorming
board. Learning disabilities and ELL students can try using real sticky notes or
mind maps instead. This can also be a group project that partners or groups work
together online on the same linoit account.

Backup plan: Use real sticky notes that students can put on a poster board or
their desk.
