Lesson Synopsis

Teacher will model proper group discussions using a student to help facilitate the collaboration. Class will work together on class created anchor chart using large paper and markers to explicitly teach how learning networks should "look like" and "sound like."

Integrated Technology

Teacher will model proper group discussions using a student to help facilitate the collaboration. Teacher will model voice levels while working in a group, model discussing the given topic, model using kind words, model that students should be listening to each other. After the discussion, teacher will use the given Jamboard link and instead of creating anchor chart with paper and marker, teacher will share the Jamboard with students. Students will work independently on their Chromebooks and open up the Jamboard that was shared with them. Inside the Jamboard they will use the post it note feature to type what learning networks look like from the class discussion. Then students will choose another post it note on the Jamboard and type what learning networks sound like from the class discussion. After all students have created two post it notes, teacher will read through the student's responses on the digital anchor chart.

We are looking for things that are alike and things that are different. Showing a picture of a teacher in a classroom and also a picture of a librarian in the library, create a class Bubble Map or Venn Diagram and list the connections that students come up for the two individuals. Students will work in groups to create their own Bubble Map or Venn Diagram showing connections between a doctor and a fireman using Jamboard. If students have not used Jamboard before, teacher will model how to use the various tools.
