Empowered Learner
Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and
demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning
sciences. Students:
a. articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging
technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process itself to improve
learning outcomes.
b. build networks and customize their learning environments in ways that support
the learning process.
c. use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and
to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.
d. understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, demonstrate
the ability to choose, use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to
transfer their knowledge to explore emerging technologies
Objectives The students will model safe and appropriate use of technology
The students will decode digraphs ch, wh, th, sh
The students will encode digraphs ch, wh, th, sh
The students will identify words with digraphs
The students will demonstrate their learning on digraphs with the use of
technology
Differentiatio ELL Students will receive one-on-one support in vocabulary knowledge when
n Strategies identifying pictures that contain a digraph. ELL students will receive strategic
directions in participating in Canva while being paired with a more
knowledgeable other for additional support. Visual learners will thrive during the
activity where students brainstorm words that have beginning digraphs. The
teacher will sort the words that students brainstorm on chart paper while drawing
a picture to match the word. Special needs learners will receive support in
brainstorming words with diagraphs. The teacher will give the special needs
learner three words and the student will identify which word contains a digraph.
Auditory learners and kinesthetic learners will receive instruction tailored to their
learning style when listening to the digraph song. The song engages all learners
by moving their bodies while engaging in content about digraphs. The lesson will

be differentiated for all learners because the teacher will be an active participant
in observing student participation while assisting students who need support
throughout the lesson. The lesson contains many parts that activate all my
learner's needs.

nt
The teacher will show the sound spelling cards for each digraph
The teacher will active student engagement by asking students the
beginning sound of the following words: cheese, wheel, thumb, shark
When the students identify the beginning sound TTW write the digraph that
makes the sound on the board.
The teacher will show a video where students will hear the diagraphs in a
song.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK8_Tvu6bJk)
The students will turn and talk to list words with each digraph.
The teacher will record students’ digraph on chart paper to create an anchor
chart.
Exploration TTW review digital safety and direct students to their devices.
TSW explore digraphs by completing a drag and drop Nearpod on
diagraphs. The Nearpod will take place on students’ chrome books.The
Nearpod will contain all four digraphs that are being taught: ch, wh, sh, th.
Students will work to match the diagraphs with the pictures and words.

Exploration The Nearpod will collect the students’ answers on the drag and drop activity.
Assessme The data from the Nearpod will show the students’ names, answers correct,
nt and answers that are incorrect. The data will guide the teacher’s small group
instruction to target student’s specific needs.
Explanatio The teacher will teach each individual diagraph by explaining the individual
n sounds that they make.
The teacher will explain that diagraph are made when two consonants come
together to make one sound.
The teacher will show each diagraph in a GoogleSlide with illustrations that
display the specific digraphs being taught.

Elaboratio Students will be paired with a partner to create a digital poster for an assigned
n diagraph. The poster will be created with the use of Canva. The teacher will present
an example poster before students begin with the use of the View Sonic projector.
The students poster must include five images on the assigned digraph. Students will
use technology to complete the poster. The groups will share their posters with the
teacher. The teacher will display the posters on the View Sonic and allow time for
each group to share their posters.
