the poem Birches by the end of

the week.
Students should gain their own
perspective on the reading.
Students should understand and
develop their own thoughts on the
characters, plot, theme and setting
of the story and how these things
tie into what the author is
attempting to do.
Students will share, collaborate

complete the post-assessment,
which will cover facts, ideas and
the plot of the poem.
Students will need to share their
ideas by creating an interactive
activity using nearpod.com. This
will allow the students to share
their ideas with other students on
any electronic device.
To assess student learning I will

develop an assessment that will
test the students knowledge of the
plot, characters and background of
the story.
Students will be required to
answer questions giving their
thoughts on the poem.
Students will not take a preassessment.
Rather than taking a preassessment students will be
graded on their ability to read

others.
Students will also be graded on
the quality of the presentation they
give at the end of the week.
Students will need to display they

and other things about the story.

will need to read over the poem

Help students set up nearpod
account if necessary. Students will

Give students time to read over

10 minutes of discussion time.

each group explain their thoughts

nearpod.com using their thoughts
and ideas about the poem.

presentation.
Look back at the TIM model and explain where this lesson fits based on the level of technology integration and characteristics of the learning
environment. Explain how your makeover plan is a more innovative, differentiated lesson that integrates technology and thoroughly engages
your students? 25 points
I feel as if the lesson plan I developed falls under the category of infusion. Students are required to use technology by sharing their ideas through
nearpod.com. This allows the students to collaborate with others while still breaking down their thoughts on the poem. I think the plan I developed
is differentiated from others because of the way students are required to share their ideas. Rather than just taking a post-test over the material
students will be asked to think in-depth and later present those in-depth thoughts with others.
When completed, share this document with your instructor; be sure to give them the ability to edit the document.
