1. Content Objective: Given a Traditional tale, Skype, and Google Docs, the student will rewrite their own version of a traditional tale with two partners from the other Language Arts classes.
2. Implementation: 6th Six Weeks: Rewrite of a Traditional Tale
3. Tools Used: Computer, IPad, or netbook; Skype and Google Docs; Traditional Tale of the groups choosing
4. Description: During the 6th six weeks, the students will be rewriting a traditional tale. Instead of doing this with a partner or small group in the same class, the student will have the opportunity to select a partner from each of the other Language Arts classrooms. Through the use of Skype and Google Docs, the group will collaborate on the rewrite and discuss the entire story through the use of the webtools. Rough drafts, revising and editing, and final drafts will all be done this way. Each student will be given a rubric to follow to ensure they are woorking efficiently and effectively. Students will then post final drafts on Google Docs and give all three Language Arts teachers viewing rights for grading purposes.
Cool lesson! It sounds fun and challenging.
