Objective: 

Students will know:

•  digital and electronic tools must be used appropriately, safely, and ethically; 

• digital and electronic tools can be used for research or for writing tasks;

•  digital and electronic tools can be used independently or with others;

• there is a relationship between  the relative length of the day and the season of the year 

Students will  be able to:

• engage in safe and ethical behavior when using digital and electronic tools individually and collaboratively;

•  understand seasonal patterns of sunrise and sunset can be observed, described and predicted. 

Directions: 

Students will create a Google Slides presentation, book using the application Book Creator, or compose a poem/ song that explains why we have seasons and gives information about the seasons. 

Guidelines:

Students read various texts and viewed instructional videos explaining why we have seasons and characteristics of each season. After exposure to books, articles, digital presentations, and songs about the topic, students were presented with a choice board that displayed options on ways they could showcase their understanding. Students determined if they wanted to work individually or collaboratively, and selected the way they wanted to share knowledge. Students were provided with a checklist of items that had to be included but were also encouraged to be creative.
