Materials: (List the materials needed for this lesson)
- White Board - Crayons

- Objectives: (What the students
should/learn/accomplish/master/understand as a result of the lesson)
- The students will begin to learn how to create a variety of media texts
for different purposes and audiences, using appropriate forms,
conventions, and techniques. Students will begin to produce some
short media texts for specific purposes and audiences, using a few
simple media forms and appropriate conventions and techniques.
- Anticipatory Set: (In what way will you activate their prior knowledge
and experience to help them relate to todays lesson?)
- I will ask the students if they know anything about Media Literacy.
- I will ask them questions such as: (for a memory refresh)
o What kind of media do we use?
o How do we know what each type of media is used for?
- Teaching: (Step by step discussion for how the lesson will be taught)
- Instructional Input:
- What knowledge will you communicate to the students so that they
understand the objective of the lesson (film, tape, video, pictures, etc.)
- I will read to the children the story of Cinderella. I will tell the children
that we are creating an invitation for a ball on our own. I will introduce
the subject of the invitations by showing the students examples of
invitations online. They will be required to get a privacy screen, to
prevent copying of other students work.
- Guided Practise:
- What activities will the students perform under your supervision to
ensure that they are able to practise the material/concepts taught in
the lesson? How will you support students when errors are made?
- As a group the students will begin to complete the invitation with
minimal assistance.
- Modeling:
- How will you demonstrate the skill or competence so the student will
also be able to do it? (Use of materials to show students examples of
what is expected as a final product of their work)
- I will model the expectation of the activity by going step by step with
the students, modelling, explaining, and answering questions from the
students.
1. Write name on paper
2. Think about the information that needs to be on the invitation
3. Create the invitation
4. Design and decorate the invitation
- Checking for Understanding:
- How will you check that the students have understood/learned the
objectives?
- I will ask the students questions related to the invitations created. I will
be checking for following of instructions as well as comprehension of
the media aspect of the invitation.
- Questioning Strategies:
- What types of questions might you ask to probe higher level thinking?
- I will ask students what else might they be able to add to their
invitations so that the guests attending will be fully aware of what to
expect at the ball.
- Closure:
- Develop a statement that brings the lesson to an appropriate
conclusion. A statement of closure is the act of reviewing and clarifying
the key points of a lesson. It is used to:
1. Cue students to the fact that they are at the end of the lesson
2. Help organize student learning
3. Help students form a clearer picture of what the lesson is all about
- I will close the lesson by having children think of ideas for when they
might ever use an invitation in everyday life.
- The children will discuss which idea they think is best.
- Independent Practice:
- List homework or seatwork assignments the students will be expected
to complete in order to practice the material/skill without teacher
supervision
- As each student completes their work, they will approach me and I will
give them feedback on their individual invitations.
- Reflection:
- What went well? Provide examples for how you know it went well.
- What didnt go well? Provide examples for how you know it didnt go
well
- What did you learn?
- What might you do differently next time you implement this same
experience and why?
- Did you have to make any adaptations or modifications? If so, what
were they?
- What type of experience might you plan to extend on this one?
