goals, develop strategies leveraging technology plants.
to achieve them and reflect on the learning
process itself to improve learning outcomes.
What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?

The students will be able to convey their understanding of the needs of a plant and how to
grow a plant by listening to the e-book created on PowerPoint. Using PowerPoint students
will create their own book to grow their plant of choice.

presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.
X Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. 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.

(water, soil, and light). Students will research different types of plants and choose
which type of seed they want to make their story book about. Students will
collaborate with each other to use technology to create a PowerPoint story about
chosen plant. Teacher will assist with technology and recording of their book. Teacher
will provide feedback on their story boards and their presentations. Their
presentations should include pictures, words and the recordings. The lesson will end
with the students presenting their stories to the class and receiving peer feedback.
Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that
gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you manage the
classroom behaviors on the technology:
Students will create a written storyboard prior to creating their PowerPoints. Their
storyboards should include the exact words for their story and the picture ideas they have.
The students will have an allotted time period to work on this assignment.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

All students will be able to interact with this technology with the assistance of their peers and myself.
Students will engage with my story that I will read to them in the beginning of the lesson and then
have them create their own PowerPoint book based on the example and the plant they chose.
Reflecting on enhanced learning:

The activity I created will impact the students because it will give them the basics of how
plants grow. It could inspire them to grow their own plant to help the Earth. I think the
students will have the most fun finding the pictures that correspond with their story and then
recording the book.
