Responsive learning in the classroom by making the content relatable
Teaching to the students when I am able to do so. I will give the

assessments) ask the students to crumble the paper and throw it
into a pile in the middle of the room. I will then
have the students put into groups of three and tell
the groups to go up and grab a piece of paper and
keep it crumbled and assign them each an iPad.
They will then be asked to open up the app

the question that their group was assigned. Once
the groups are done, we will come back together as
a class and present these questions and Chatterpix
through the doc cam. When each group is
presenting the students from the group will call on
their classmates who have their hands raised to
answer the questions.

Connection to the The students will be connected to the arts through the use
Arts of them creating their own Chatterpix. This allows them to
use art through the lesson when they create their

Higher Order 1. What do you know about the question that your
Thinking group has? (Understand)
Questions 2. What questions do you think that Benjamin
(HOTQs) Franklin would have about his inventions today?
(Apply)
3. How are Benjamin Franklin’s inventions used
today? (Apply)
4. How did you design you own product about
Benjamin Franklin? (Create)

(Understand)
Re-teaching, Re- One new strategy that I can do to reteach for students
Engagement, would be to have students use a passage to read about
Practice Benjamin Franklin and have them answer questions based
on the information they read in the text. I would have the
students highlight the key information that they used to
answer the questions and explain to them that the
information they highlighted is the key details in the text.
Extensions One extension activity that I can have students complete if
they meet the objective would be to have them create a
question that Benjamin Franklin might have about how his
inventions are used today.
Lesson Closure The lesson will close with having the students present
their Chatterpix presentation to the students. The group
presenting will also answer questions that other students
might have about the content that they are presenting.
