Lesson Idea Name: If I Built a School

Grade Level/Content Area: 2nd Grade Reading Literacy

Content Standard Addressed: ELAGSE2RL7: Use information gained from the illustrations and
words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot

ISTE Technology Standard Addressed:
Empowered Learner – 1.1c students use technology
to seek feedback that informs and improves their
practice and to demonstrate their learning in a
variety of ways
What would you like students to know and be
able to do by the end of this lesson: Students
will be able to use Pear Deck during flipped
classroom or digital learning days

What is the student learning goal(s) for this lesson idea? Students will be able to demonstrate their
understanding of a story.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):

Remembering ✘ Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:

X Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based.

☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.

☐ Problem-based (Real world problems) and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared
outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the
school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another
class, or publishing it via an outside source.)

Lesson idea implementation: This lesson plan will be implemented to introduce characters and
settings. Students will be asked to complete this as an in-class activity and the teacher will set the
Pear Deck to student-led. The class will watch the read-aloud together and each student has access
to watch it again later. After the first read-aloud as a class, students will discuss in partners or small
groups to complete the pear deck. Students may rewatch the read-aloud as many times as they need
to. The Quizizz at the end of the pear deck will be completed individually to conclude the lesson.

Managing student learning: Students will begin by watching the read-aloud as a class. Students may
work together at the tables to complete the pear deck and discuss what they think about the story.
After about 15-20mins for discussion/completion, students will be instructed to take the Quizizz
independently, then to put away their laptops.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): The pear deck activity is an engaging activity that allows for
multiple means of student action and expression throughout. The pear deck also represents a
different way of introducing content by providing a link to the read-aloud and options to go back and
forth.
Reflective Practice: I believe this tool can help students who struggle with reading because of the
mode it is presented in. Students can not only read the story, but they can also listen to the story to
help with reading comprehension. Students also have 2 choices to demonstrate their learning:
writing or drawing.
