Target Audience: 4-5 grade students or older can use a blog to communicate and share ideas about books they have read and share meaning of text through format etc.
Students will be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of the physical features (e.g., cover, spine, title page, cursor, scroll bar) of reading materials, both electronic and print. Read, view and listen for information presented in a variety of formats (e.g., textual, visual, media). Identify the elements of story. Identify the roles, tools, and purposes of authors, illustrators, and other contributors for a text. Understand the library layout, the library classification system, and the circulation process. Use selection criteria (e.g., interest, content) when choosing materials for a defined purpose. Select texts from a variety of formats and genres to read for enjoyment, acquire knowledge, and answer questions. Gain understanding and make connections while reading and interacting with text. Demonstrate perseverance and stamina when reading or listening to a variety of texts. Listen to, view, read, and integrate information to build a knowledge base. Utah Core Standards: Standard 3: Contribute to a reading and learning community, including recommending reading materials to peers and respecting others’ reading choices. Standard 4 :Make use of personal, community and global libraries, both physical and electronic. ISTE Standard 7a: Students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning. Engagement Section: Collaborate with teachers in the school and other schools/districts to set this up. Create a Media Blog that enforces the reading and learning through questions and activities and participation. There will be options for books that they (the students) can choose to read and the students that choose the same books will be in the same reading groups. In their groups, they must read the required reading and update on the blog their thoughts and feelings about the readings. They will do a required weekly quiz which will help the students stay on track and keep up with their readings. The content of the quizzes will include a proficiency of knowledge of the physical features (e.g., cover, spine, title page, cursor, scroll bar) of reading materials, both electronic and print. They will be able to identify the elements of story: roles, tools, and purposes of authors, illustrators, and other contributors for a text. Student will be able to use selection criteria (e.g., interest, content) when choosing materials for a defined purpose. There will be plenty of selected texts from a variety of formats and genres to read for enjoyment, acquire knowledge, and answer questions. The students will gain a greater understanding and make connections while reading and interacting with the text. The students will be able to all of this and can share their knowledge with others who are working in the same texts. Additional Help: There will be a place on the site where they can ask questions and the teacher(s) will be able to help the students work through what’s confusing. The students can go to their teachers for help and ask the other students in their groups questions. They can also look up what things mean. Experience Section: I have started this blog. It is in the beginning stages of usage and still needs some help with layout and sections where things can be shared etc. I feel this is a great thing to put into place for students. I have considered a little bit more and found that this is something that a couple of teachers have implemented into their classrooms. I asked a couple of teachers from my high school and this is one way that they had discussed putting into place and had a rough draft of the ideas. “I think that this would be a perfect way for students who are reading the same books in different classrooms can share knowledge with each other and get new insights from those in different classes doing the same things” Mrs. Jensen Assessment: Points will be given for the quizzes for thoroughness and completion. Students need to demonstrate a proficient knowledge of what they are reading. The quizzes will be automatically scored and they will be able to see what their score was. Students need to also participate in the discussion within their reading groups and contribute to what’s going on. They need to be able to ask questions and get clarification. Students will also participate in their classrooms and discuss what is new and what they have learned. They will be graded on participation and completion. They will demonstrate a thorough knowledge of what they have been reading.
