PLN Time: When looking for things to use with my lesson I realized that there are tons of resources for the type of lessons I was planning for. I found a few text feature lists, and SMART Notebooks that I tweaked to fit my needs. I used both a paper form for the lesson overview and used my flip lesson to talk about it as well. I was able to then hit both my visual and auditory learners this way. I watched a lot of flipped lessons before I started and I realized they do not have to be beautiful to get the point across. That helped with my fear of doing it.
For my lesson, I am focusing on identifying text features and understanding the purpose the author has for using them in nonfiction text. My students are going to use Pic Collage to create there displays on 3-5 text features and then they will use their Weebly blog to post them. Each student will post questions to go along with them, and will have to respond to their peers questions and the comments made on their blog.
My lesson is in the Modification SAMR level and is in the Understand and Apply level of Blooms Digital Taxonomy.
