sequence, and cause and effect.
CCSS W.3.2: Write informative/ explanatory texts to examine or convey ideas and information
clearly.
L.3.6: Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate conversational, general academic, and
domain-specific words and phrases, including those that signal spatial and temporal relationships

SL.3.5: Create engaging audio recordings of stories or poems that demonstrate fluid reading at an
understandable pace; add visual displays when appropriate to emphasize or enhance certain facts

b. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression
c. Use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues
d. Identify trends and forecast possibilities
ISTE 2: Communication and collaboration Students use digital media and environments to
communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning
and contribute to the learning of others.
a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital

Learning Targets:
I can create a digital story explaining the steps in a recipe.
2. Grade Level: 3rd Grade
3. Time: 15 minutes
4. Procedures:
This lesson is going to be more teacher-guided introduction to the final step of their
writing assignment. The goal is for students to create a digital story of their recipe
project they completed.
I DO:
-Review class wiki page on steps in a technical procedure (YOU DO on wiki)
-Tell students they are going to take what have they been writing and creating and turn it
into a digital story of their own.
-Show video example of recipe project: https://youtu.be/OJrZnWwqbmw
-Explain to the students that there was a process I had to go through before I could create
the video.
-Show students completed story map for my example

JOL6o/edit?usp=sharing
I used a GoogleDoc to show the students a template they will be using to complete along
with their project. The story map is a rough draft of what the project is going to look like,
it is okay if steps are missing, the next step (storyboard) is where they will make sure
everything is in the correct order.
- Show students completed storyboard with script for my example (PDF PowerPoint)
This document has a picture along with the caption and script that I said in the video. I
will show my students the script along with the video again to show that I did not exactly
say what was on the script, I freestyled but used the script to stay on track. That is an
option compared to writing it all out. This is where all the hard work is put in and things
are getting organized.
-Remind students of the amount of time they have to complete the assignment here at
school and that the GoogleDocs remain open to give them enough time to complete each
section.
- I will then ask for questions the students might have
EXIT SLIP: Padlet

What recipe are you doing and why?

5. How students will be assessed:

Students will be assessed by commenting on the Padlet with their answer. Since this is more of a
teacher-guided lesson, I will make sure I answer any questions students have to clear up any
misconceptions. Asking questions shows they are paying attention and are engaged. As a
summative assessment, they will complete the digital story of a recipe.
6. Accommodations and modifications for students: Being that we are using a gradual
release process in the lesson, it allows students to see the product they are expected to
complete during the I DO (teacher-directed) part of the lesson. This gives students time
to ask questions to clarify for understanding. ELLs are able to provide pictures on their
video only one or two words on their video. ECE students who have writing goals will
be pulled to work with me one-on-one to provide them with a written script they can use
when completing their project.
