Lesson Idea Template
Name: Lisa Petsko Grade Level: 7th Grade Content Area: Language Arts: Writing Standards Addressed: ELAGSE7W2 Title of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: Publishing Opportunity URL of Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: www.myhero.com Describe how you would Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your classroom: The lesson plan will be presented to students as part of a writing unit. Students will be encouraged to look around their community or their home country (ESOL students) to find a hero that they want to write about. Next they will write an essay on that what they think makes that person a hero. In addition to the essay, they will be encouraged to videotape an interview with that person and ask them questions they think their classmates would want to learn more about. This will be optional since all the kids may not have the ability to videotape an interview. Ultimately they will be posting the information at the myhero.com web site. After they post their story, I will ask them to read at least one other students hero story and be prepared to share them with the rest of the class. We will have a discussion in class about their stories and the ones they read about. My goal is to get students excited about writing since they will be able to write about their own choice of topic and something that is personal to them a hero. I hope that it will be exciting for them to have their writing published on the site and then to read stories from other students around the world. I anticipate giving the students about 2 weeks to complete this assignment. If they are struggling to come up with a hero, I will offer to give them some ideas. I will schedule time in the computer lab so that students can type their essays and submit them to myhero.com. They will also have time in the computer lab to do research at myhero.com.
