Personal Tech Project - Prezi !!

Sorry it's late



Steve Carroll – What About You? Lesson Plan

Date: February 27, 2010 Class and Grade Level: Language Arts 8

Title/Subject of Lesson: Prezi presentations

Objective(s):

Students will be able to use Prezi to introduce themselves to the class. This works as a precursor to their writing about themselves in their autobiographies.

State (or District) Core Curriculum Standard(s):

[2.1.b] Focus written facts or events around a clearly stated, unifying idea.

[2.2] Identify and reflect on feelings to recreate experiences. (Emphasize short biographies, narratives, or memoirs.)

Concept(s) to Be Taught: Prezi

Materials Needed: The computer lab and pictures.

Strategies to be Used: Prezi as a way to allow them to brainstorm ideas they might want to touch upon in their books.

PERFORMING

Lesson Presentation:

A) Getting Started: [anticipatory set]

· Introduce the Who Are You? unit and explain to the students that they are going to use Prezi to create a basic overview of themselves.

B) Directing the Learning: [learning activities] / Assignment

· Have them all watch the Prezi tutorial and have them look at at least 3 different examples of Prezi presentations. Answer questions as they begin to work on their own. Finally, let them loose to play, experiment, and learn.

C) Bringing the Lesson to a Conclusion:

· Spend 15-20 minutes looking over the presentations as a class if there is time. If time is short, have the students show them to their pair-share groups.

Evaluation: Now the students know more about each other and about a great technology!
