3rd Grade Book Review Lesson Plan
Reading and Technology
Content Standards:
ELAGSE3RL10: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 2-3 text complexity band
ELAGSE3RL5: Refer to parts of stories, dramas, and poems when writing or speaking about a text, using terms such as chapter, scene, and stanza; describe how each successive part builds on earlier sections.
Technology Standards:
Creative Communicator -Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
6a Students choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired objectives of their creation or communication.
6d Students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences.
Global Collaborator- Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.
7b Students use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints.
Overview:
Students will write a review of an independent reading book that they are reading or that they have read in the past. By writing a review, they are showing that they comprehend the book and that they can refer back to the book to add details to their review.
First, students will decide on a book that they are passionate about and that they want to write a review on. Once they have made a decision they will post the name of their book and one reason why they chose the book on Mentimeter.com. Mentimeter is an online presentation tool that lets students use a code to access the presentation and they can post their response. Once they post, it pops up on the screen right away so others can read their responses. This tool is very similar to Animoto and Lino (a mixture of the two) that we learned about in class. Animoto is an online presentation tool and Lino allows students to post on boards online for others to see. Mentimeter does both. After students, post their response we will discuss their replies as a class.
The teacher will then model how to write a book review about the book we are reading as a class, Because of Winn Dixie. Students will then have time to start typing their draft of their book review on our schools LMS called eClass. Students will create a discussion on the discussion board to type their book review, which includes a summary of the book (with details from the story), how they feel about the book, and tells why someone should read that book. Once students finish writing their review they will post it on the discussion board for other students in the class to comment. Students will give advice to two other students. Students will then read the comments and decide what they may need to fix in their review.
Students will then have a choice of making an iMovie, Video note, or PowerPoint about their book. The teacher will model each resource so the students have knowledge about each type of technology. Students will then create an artifact that advertises their book from their book review. They will then post their choice of technology on the discussion board on eClass for others to look at. This will help other students in the school and in the class pick the next book that might interest them.
