  • fostered collaboration and communication through group reflection project
  • feedback on group reflection project and individual reflections.
Lesson Description for Day
Students will be divided into groups and assigned an article.  Groups will begin to brainstorm ideas for communicating their main idea along with three supporting details and explore different project options.  Students will create a technology reflection project, review and reflect on peer projects, and lastly individually reflect on the lesson and projects.

METHODS

Anticipatory Set:
To introduce the lesson, the teacher will read to the class, The Juice Box Bully, Empowering Kids to Stand Up For Others by D. Misdonday. (Recognition Networks)
Students individually will complete a pre-reading assignment or watch the video of the pre-reading and then complete the anonymous survey.  (Recognition Networks)
Students will then be divided into groups and complete a K-W-H-L chart that will later be submitted electronically and used as an informal assessment. 
KWHL Chart
(What I Know, What I Want to Learn, How I Learned It, What I Learned)
Fill in the first two columns of a KWHL chart within your group in order to summarize what everyone currently knows about bullying. At the end of the lesson today, what the class learned and how they learned it will be submitted electronically and later discussed.

Introduce and Model New Knowledge:
1.   Establish Routines and Responsibilities – Explain that students will work in small groups to learn more in-depth information about bullying.  Each group will read a different article and then demonstrate their knowledge through a collaborative reflection project.  Their project should clearly demonstrate a big idea supported by at least three supporting details. 
Organize the class into heterogeneous, small groups of no more than five students.  Five groups will have five students and two groups shall contain five students.  The student who is blind, will be placed in a group of five and the student with hearing impairment will be placed in the other group of five.  Each group should contain at least one student identified as gifted and talented. 
·        Group 1: What is Bullying?
·        Group 2: Who’s A Bully?
·        Group 3: Who’s A Target?
·        Group 4: How to Handle It?
·        Group 5: Innocent Bystanders
·        Group 6: Are you A Bully?
·        Group 7: Online Bullying
Each group should designate jobs for each individual.  All individual will solicit input, work on sections of the draft, and help with the final reflection connection project.  Each individual should be assigned a role such as:
·        Fact checker: validates information in the final project
·        Scribe: documents group ideas and provides a final summary for the project
·        Designer: coordinates final design or technological components
·        Editor: checks final reflection project for punctuation, capitalization, and spelling errors
Additional roles may include
      • Timeliner: ensures that each member has completed appropriate tasks
2.  Preview Resources:  Provide students a preview of the
Webpage resources - assignment page, survey, reflection, examples of projects, check-off list, etc. (Recognition Networks)
3.  Discuss Project Options: Each group may chose among the following (Affective Networks)
Option 1: Create a VOKI
Option 2: Create a Glogster
Option 3: Create a Video

Provide Guided Practice:
Project Planning (Strategic Networks)
Have small groups get together and begin planning their projects. Once they're in their small groups, share the attached Project Planning Organizer in order to facilitate students' planning and work flow. Help students break their projects into smaller parts.
  • outline
  • facts, concepts, & information collected  (big idea followed by at least three supporting details)
  • drafts completed (both text and art):
  • incorporate technology aspect
  • revising/proofreading:
  • polished product
Rotate among the groups in order to determine whether they are developing a solid plan for their projects. Ask questions as needed in order to facilitate their planning.
Provide Independent Practice:

Students will provide reflection on peer group projects. (Strategic Networks)

WRAP UP:

Concluding the project and peer review of projects, students will write an individual reflection on what they've learned from their peer group project review and through the process of their group project.  

(Strategic Networks)

ASSESSMENT:


Formative/Ongoing Assessment:
  • As students work on their projects, maintain ongoing observations of their learning behaviors, questions they ask, and their expressions of new knowledge. Take notes and make decisions about which students need additional support based on these ongoing observations.
  • Review K-W-H-L charts
  • Review Peer Group Project Comments
  • Review Individual Reflections

Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment:
  • Evaluating the Projects:
    Use the attached rubric to evaluate students' reports. Attach a copy of the rubric to each report, with each sub score highlighted, so students have a detailed analysis of their projects.
