As of right now, I have not made progress on the writing lesson! YIKES! I will certainly begin this. Actually, my class is really focusing on technology, so I'm really thinking about how I am going to implement the technology portion into this. I want to make it a really good final product, so I want to play around with things to do this. I'm thinking something in StoryRobe would be really interesting. Since it is a two voice poem, I think the kids will have a partner. The pairs will write the poem together and will also do the final product together, each voice being their separate parts. I think I will have them implement pictures into this also, showing the different perspectives of the poem. I think the differentiation aspect will be the use of partners. I am going to have a TON of examples for them! I will be doing the perspective of explorers and Native Americans. We will write one of the poems together as a class as well. We will brainstorm different ideas that we can use together. I'm excited to do this with my class!! I will be able to bring electronic examples to share with the group. I think that's about it!! I'm looking forward to incorporating technology to make it exciting for the students.
