Lesson 5: Culminating Task

Lesson Overview: 

In this 1-2 week lesson, students are completing the culminating task for this unit of study, which is a digital poetry portfolio. Students explore the final task assignment sheet individually, followed by the teacher reviewing the final assignment. The students then go through the four poems they created within the unit and edit them based on the teacher's feedback on each rubric. This is followed by students creating a bulbapp.com account where they will post their polished poems and accompanying multimedia presentations on different pages. After uploading their poems, students write a reflection for each poem about how it is meaningful to them and about the digital format they chose to present it in. The students will then post those reflections on their poetry pages, too. At this point, students have four pages, which include their poem, their mulitmedia creation, and their poem reflection. After completing their poetry pages, students begin writing a reflection about the process of creating their digital poetry portfolios, as well as the unit as a whole. This final unit reflection is posted on its own page in their bulb account, and the final portfolio is shared with the teacher for grading.
