SCOPE & SEQUENCE
Day 1: Teacher will explain lesson, including objectives and goals, and hand out rubric.
Teacher will then hand out plot diagram worksheet and have students work within their
group to complete the worksheet. While students are working, teacher will walk around
listening for cues signaling student learning. Teacher will also check diagrams as students
work and offer suggestions or ask for clarification. Teacher will encourage students to be
descriptive and detailed in completing the plot diagram. Once students have completed the
plot diagram worksheet, they will work together to determine roles and duties. Students will
then work together to determine the layout of their video.
Day 2: Within the group, students will work on their individual portions for the video
(Sample responsibilities could be: Introducer, Character Developer, Setter of the Setting,
Conflict Builder, Resolver, Action Maker, Narrator, Storyboard Maker, Recorder, or have
students brainstorm roles). Students will use the Internet to find images that relate to their
portions. Teacher will walk around to each group asking questions about their projects.
Students will use animations throughout their PP.
Day 3: Using the student shared drive, students will create a folder to put their individual
portions of the PowerPoint in. Students will then work together to put all individual parts
into one PowerPoint Presentation. Students will collaborate on any changes and/or additions
that need to be made. It is vital that teacher walks around providing feedback to students at
this stage; students may feel challenged at this area and unsure of how to proceed. Teacher
should encourage problem solving techniques within the group if needed.
Day 4: Students will narrate their PowerPoint Presentation and record the slide show. Once
they have finished recording their PP, they will work with one other group to peer edit.
Students have remainder of class to make any necessary changes and to convert PowerPoint
to MP4. By end of this class, MP4 video should be uploaded into designated folder within
the student shared drive.
Day 5: Students will use interactive white board to present their book report videos.
Duration of videos should be 3-7 minutes. At the end of their video, students will explain
their part in the collaborative process and answer any questions the rest of the group may
have.
