TIP+Project

Technology Integration Project
The TIP Project is an all encompassing project of all the different technologies and software that we have learned to use in this class. This project focuses on multiple third grade Language Arts PASS Standards.

Literary Elements and Textual Evidence SMARTboard presentation
This lesson focuses on teaching the five main literary elements (plot, character, conflict, theme, and setting) as well as pulling context clues from various texts to support different prompts. The SMARTboard includes several different quizzes and activities that allow the students to be interactive during the lesson.  

"What's Next?" Video
This video includes passages from four different children's books followed by corresponding questions. The video is designed to be played during class so that students can discuss possible answers with their teacher and classmates during the built-in breaks. Questions include details about literary elements, the order of the story, and predictions about what happens next.  media type="youtube" key="2mRyz5FqLzc?version=3" height="315" width="560"

Mapping Literary Elements Kidspiration Activity
This activity focuses on the five literary elements (plot, character, conflict, theme, and setting) and links them with the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, why, and how). There is a completed concept map to be presented to the class by the teacher. Then, after reading a book of their choice, the students will be expected to complete their own Kidspiration concept map using the template provided. The students will be required to make connections between the book and the elements on their concept maps to ensure that they are able to differentiate between the various literary elements.    

The Writing Process Podcast
<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The lesson is concluded with students listening to the podcast about the writing process and the three parts of a paper (beginning, middle, and end). Next, the podcast informs the students on how to write a paper using this format while incorporating the five literary elements in their writing. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> media type="file" key="Podcast Writing Process.mp3"
