XIntegration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-driven.
Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. All products of learning are unique and
personalized. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator walking around monitoring the student-led
activity.
☐Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning newscast,
posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.

their choice to express their research findings. The students will then choose one fact about their
specific star/planet and share it on our class padlet. This will extend student learning by having them
learn from their peers about their research findings. To conclude the lesson, I will have each student
talk about the research that they did on the star or planet of their choice.
Reflective Practice:
- After reviewing this lesson, I feel as if the activities will impact student learning by allowing students
to learn from whole-group instruction and by doing their own research. I feel as if the lesson will
benefit overall student learning because they will be presenting to their classmates about their
research findings. If I were to extend this lesson, I would have the students post to a blog of some
type that relates to planets and stars so that students could share their findings and also look at other
people’s findings.
