Lesson Idea
To begin this lesson, I will ask students to act out different jobs in the community. Then, I will
introduce students to the story I created and ask students to read aloud their learning goals.
Students will listen and watch the storyboard, and I will ask students what they found
interesting about the storyboard. Once the discussion is complete, I will excite the students
by telling them they get to create their very own story! I will then give each student a piece of
paper that has the standard and learning targets at the top. There will also be a checklist on
this page so students have exactly what they need in their storyboard and can self-assess as
they complete their project. I will explain to students that they will be creating a story about
different professions in the community and how they work together for the good of the
community. Students will utilize technology to find images, information, and ideas for their
stories. They will also use Microsoft PowerPoint to construct their story. I will provide each
student feedback by checking off each item on the same checklist that they used to build the
story. To conclude the lesson, I will ask students about any challenges they faces while
creating their story, what they enjoyed about the assignment, and what they learned while
creating the assignment.
Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that
gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you manage the
classroom behaviors on the technology:
The tools in which the students are allowed to use will cause them to become active and
social learners. They will actively be learning as they create their projects, and they will
interact with their peers by sharing ideas about jobs in the community. I will manage
classroom behaviors on the technology by discussing expectations before starting the activity
and by actively scanning the classroom throughout the experience.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

Microsoft PowerPoint is a Basic Productivity Tool that allows students to learn in an active
and engaging way. Students can work on their own level while sharing ideas with their
classmates. This activity is Action and Expression of the Universal Design for Learning due to
students being able to create their own product with Microsoft PowerPoint.
Reflecting on enhanced learning:

I feel as if providing students with the opportunity to use Microsoft PowerPoint provides easy
access to kid-friendly technology that will allow them to express their knowledge of jobs in
their community. This assignment teaches them both basic and fundamental technology
operations.
