4.7 The student will write effective
narratives, poems, and explanations.
a) Focus on one aspect of a topic.
b) Develop a plan for writing
c) Organize writing to convey a central idea.
e) Utilize elements of style, including word
choice and sentence variation. f) Write

g) Use available technology.
In this activity students will use the Word
Mover application. They will create a user
name based on their full, real name and
save each work by using the share
functionality, emailing it to the teacher.
For this purpose, the teacher will create a
free Gmail account for the sole purpose of
receiving students work and will share it
with the class during each session of
creation. Within the Word Mover app,
students will generate poems by selecting
and creating word banks, images from
within the app, and their own creativity.
Students will create two poems: one
rhymed and/or patterned, and one free
verse and/or unpatroned. Poem subjects
and vocabulary must be school
appropriate. Grades will be determined on
form and determined creative effort.

groups.

audience, and purpose.
f) Evaluate impact and purpose of presentation.

k) Summarize and evaluate information presented orally by others.
l) Assume shared responsibility for collaborative work.
With this activity, students will be placed in groups by the teacher and tasked with
researching, presenting and recording their findings as a news broadcast using the free
radio application Mixlr. Topics such as school events, local news, sports, food, and
literature are possible subjects for radiobroadcast. Students will create Mixlr accounts
using a single, new Gmail account for the express purpose of signing up and will share
the password with each other. Each account/broadcast is given a name once the topic is
chosen, and other groups must follow/listen to broadcasts. Broadcasts will be at least 10
minutes long, and must include relevant information to topic, demonstrate reasonable
research and new information to the audience, and be presented with clear, structured
diction. Working transcripts for each broadcast are required; must be grammatically
correct when submitted and works cited. Mixlr broadcasts are saved onto devices once
broadcast and can be reviewed by any followers and educators after signing off. Mixlr is
available online as a regular website in case students do not have access to smartphone
or tablet technology at home. Students will record each broadcast within the school and
other groups will be tasked with listening at home and writing summaries of each
broadcast which should include: topic, main points, and new or exciting information
learned. Grading will be based on appropriate timing of broadcast, factual and credited
information, speech and transcripts, and summaries.
