The standards I am focusing on are:
- Standard 1-Oral Language-Students develop language for the purpose of effectively communicating through listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting.
- Objective 2-Develop language through viewing media and presenting.
Students will develop language skills by interpreting a poem. They will come up with an idea of what the poem communicates to them and then they will make a photo story to present their ideas.
What is the pedagogy you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content?
This lesson focuses on the students' ideas and their ability to express what they believe. This is a good fit with the content because with poem interpretations there are no right or wrong answers. Students are able to experience the ways language can be communicated clearly or unclearly. I think a good teaching practice is allowing students freedom when it comes to creative projects. Guidelines are important but allowing students to have success while using their own ideas is important to foster a love of learning. This project also provides opportunities for students to use higher-level thinking because they have to analyze a poem and come up with how they would present it visually.
What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
The technology I'll be using is Photostory or imovie. This is good fit with both content and pedagogy because it is something all students will be able to participate in doing. It provides creative freedom because students can chose to use claymations, photos, or do their own illustrations. It also gives students an opportunity to develop language regardless of their writing abilities.
