    Pedagogy Planning

    writing samples and comment on each other’s work. There will be a Google Document of everyone’s link
    that will be easily accessible all year for all students.
    Activity
    1. In History, students will be given prompts and
    will need to use what we have learned in class
    and what we know to answer from the
    perspective of a child in that time period.
    2. In English, students will utilize the seven
    elements of a fictional story to develop their
    own creative writing piece.
    3. Students will be able to comment on another
    student’s work to ask questions, compliment
    points, or give suggestions.
    4. This will be an on going activity and students
    will be asked to add to their Fan.School
    account over the year to act as a digital
    writing journal for these subjects.

    English lesson plan:

    After reading the fictional literature selection,


    students should access their Edublogs and work on
    their own fictional story. Students will need to be sure
    they include all of the characteristics of a fictional
    story, e.g. defined characters, setting description that
    utilizes vocabulary words, a problem for their
    characters to solve, and a solution that teaches a
    lesson. Fictional story characteristics will need to be
    discussed during the initial read of the selection and
    pausing to discuss the characteristic and how we can
    identify it in the reading. Students will need to defend
    their thinking by providing context clues or explicit
    quotes to show their thinking. Students will be
    expected to replicate this story structure in their own
    Edublogs postings.

    Comments on Edublogs will be open for students or


    staff to ask questions, give feedback, and compliment
    stories. Comments should only be used for these
    purposes and should not distract from the overall goal
    of the lesson.

    History lesson plan:

    After reviewing our previous lessons on ancient Rome


    and Greece, students will need to compare and
    contrast the two civilizations in an Edublogs post.
    Both societies will need to be thoroughly reviewed
    before students are given this assignment. Students
    may access notes, PowerPoints, and the textbook to
    make these comparisons and find connections
    Web 2.0 Technology Students will use the Edublogs webpage to make their
    own posts.

    Technology

    Link to the example https://rasapp.edublogs.org


    ^ student blog example featuring the beginning of a
    creative writing piece.
    Mobile App Option 1. Edublogs does not have a mobile app but the
    mobile website interface is nearly identical to the
    desktop version and should be just as user friendly.

    2. Students could create a similar blog on Google


    Slides, a Docs file, or on Google Sites. They could
    dedicate a single slide to every prompt and/or keep a
    running record of their entries or create their own
    website to function as a blog. All of these options are
    available via Google PlayStore and the Apple App
    Store.
