Content-The learning objectives:

 Identify and explore elements of poetry
 Write poems using all types of poetry forms
 Read all types of poetry forms as poets
 Understand the different poetic elements, forms, and expressions
 Further analyze and critique poems during the unit

Pedagogy-
 Build background knowledge by listening to and reading poetry
 Participate in reading different forms of poetry conveying different
emotions and feelings
 Respond to poetry individually
 Brainstorm and write poetry using different types of poetic forms using
rules
 Present and publish poems
 
Technology-
The use of technology will reinforce and supplement the classroom
instruction by providing the students a new fun way to organize and publish
their works. The eportfolio supports the pedagogy by providing the students
the opportunity to select, analyze and publish their poetry through
technology. 
 
I could enhance student learning by allowing the students to publish their
poetry using an eportfolio. The students would respond to specific prompts
on poetry read aloud as group as well share their thoughts and feeling
towards the poems. The students will collect the poems they have written to
represent the different forms of poetry and publish to their eportfolio. The
students would create their own illustration to represent their favorite poem
selected for their portfolio.

To take this further I would have the students analyze and critique the
poems they selected to be published in their eportfolio.

Content-The learning objectives:
 Conduct a science fair experiment using a standard process or
scientific method
 Generate a question, gather information, conduct an investigation,
record the finding or conclusion and create a presentation suitable for
the science fair
  Develop a basic demonstration of how the world works through
research, observation, and experimentation
 Analyze a scientific occurrence with an investigation
 Use technology by using pull down menus, icons, etc. for a resource to
locate information
Pedagogy-
 Develop their own experiment based on personal interest
 Learning from experimenting or learning by doing
 Encourage reflection about the experiment to develop new skills, new
attitudes and a new way of thinking

Technology-
The use of technology will reinforce and supplement the classroom
instruction by providing the students a platform to share and discuss
their scientific process. Using an eportfolio as the platform for
presentation the students apply critical thinking skills in determining
schedules, lessons, work examples, and forms to include in the
portfolio. Students analyze, critique and make changes to experiment
process based on results. Student revisions are encouraged after
feedback is provided.
 
I could use an eportfolio to transform student learning by allowing the
students to publish and analyze their experiment question, gathered
information, conducted investigation, record the finding or conclusion and
present results. They will share their thoughts, questions, successes and
challenges encountered in the experiment and analyze results to determine
changes to make during the process. The students would create their own
form of media to best represent their experiment selected for their
eportfolio.

Content-The learning objectives:
 Identify Producers and Consumers and understand roles
 Understand the idea of food relationships in an ecosystem
 Understand the concept of the food chain
 Understand the significance of each link in the food chain

Pedagogy-
 Introduce vocabulary needed to understand concept
 Begin with a simple model of food relationships to build understanding
 Use simple linear food chain to introduce food relationships
 Create a basic food chain
 
Technology-
The use of technology will reinforce and supplement the classroom
instruction by providing the students a new fun way to organize information
and use critical thinking skills to create a food chain poster.

Students will use the information they learned about producers and
consumers, the concept of a food chain and the significance of each link in
the food chain to create a poster in Prezia. Using a poster as the platform
the students are applying critical thinking skills in the production of their
sequence of producers and consumers as well as the examples.

Content-The learning objectives:
 Develop reading comprehension and thinking skills through high-
quality literature
 Summarize a story’s plot, setting and characters
 Respond to issues of literature as well as facts and story events
 Participate in literature discussions, connect own experiences with
facts
Pedagogy-
 Develop reading and writing through interactions with both adults and
peers
 Interact using written language to construct meaning about what they
have read
Technology-
The use of technology will reinforce and supplement the classroom
instruction by providing the students a platform to share and discuss
literature.

Using Prezia as the platform to create a book report the students are
applying critical thinking skills to analyzing characters, retell sequence of
events and review the work. The book report can be presented to the class
in a presentation.
