* What is the content you’ll be using in your lesson? We are using a storybook about a boy and an elephant and we will use it to teach the following objective.
The content is teaching Standard 1:
Oral Language-Students develop language for the purpose of effectively communicating through listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting.
Objective 1
Develop language through listening and speaking.
Listen and demonstrate understanding by responding appropriately (e.g., follow multiple-step directions, restate, clarify, question, summarize).
* What is the pedagogy you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content?
We will use a read aloud session to teach the children about the necessary objective and the book will be the center of the lesson. After the book is read to the students, the teacher will direct a discussion afterwards. As a teacher you can discuss the book afterwards and have writing assignments and potential math problems about elephants and circus. It could even turn into a theme. The discussion will cover the objectives and assessments can be given as well.
* What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy? We will use digital storytelling to complete the lesson and we will scan in our images and story and add music and voice. It will be like watching a movie that is informative and the children will stay involved. The discussion is important because it ties in the technology with the pedagogy and the content.
