Instructional Software
Lesson Idea Name: Book Workshop
Content Area: English Language Arts (ELA)
Grade Level(s): Grade 3
Content Standard Addressed:
→ ELAGSE3RL2 Recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the
central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.
→ ELAGSE3RL3 Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their
actions contribute to the sequence of events.
ISTE Technology Standard Addressed:
→ Level 1 Empowered Learner: Students will work collaboratively to choose a digital book to base their
project on.
→ Level 3 Knowledge Constructor: Students will be reading the digital book to the class.
Selected Technology Tool:
→ Google Documents: students will access this document through their laptops and figure out which group
they are in.
→ Google Forms: students will have access to this google form after the project is done. Students can rate
their group members, make suggestions, and make any comments relating to the project.

Levels of Technology Integration:
☐ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
⌧ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-
driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): For this lesson, the students will be working collaboratively to read a
digital book to the class. They will be collectively working together to decide what will be read to the class.
Each group will choose from a list of technology tools to summarize the book. This lesson supports Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) by incorporating high tech tools into the lesson. Students will be choosing how to
present their summary to the class using a presentation, movie, trailer, etc.
Lesson idea implementation:
The teacher will be acting as the facilitator in this lesson plan. The teacher will present the details of the book
project. The majority of the work will be done by the students. They will be working collaboratively to choose
a digital book to read to the class. I estimate that this lesson idea implementation will take about 2 to 3 days.
This allows ample time for the students to brainstorm what to read, choose how to present their summary,
etc.
Relating to higher order thinking with the students, I would engage in a discussion with the groups after the
reading. I will be asking questions that are specific to the groups and to the class. I would provide the class
with a google form that will allow the students to reflect on what they learned, how it was working in groups,
and any suggestions they’d like to add to the lesson. In terms of feedback, I would provide written rubrics that
details any comments and suggestions. I would also encourage the students to provide feedback to their

peers.
Reflective Practice: I believe that this lesson idea is great, in terms of flexibility. Teachers can utilize this
lesson into a face-to-face classroom and also a virtual classroom. What I love about implementing technology
with education is that it allows for differentiated instruction. There are also a variety of online resources that
students can use to help aid learning. To extend this lesson, I would have the students come up with their
own story in a writing workshop. I could have the students do a voiceover of them reading their story. At the
end of the workshop, the class would listen to each student’s story.
