Grouping: Students will work in large group, small groups and individually as specified in the Instructional Strategies. Description: In this lesson, students will investigate the importance of quotation marks used for direct quotations and special uses of words in writing. At the end, they will write a one to two page paper of a conversation from an interview of an author. Instructional Strategies: 1. Display the Essential Question on the board through the classroom projector connected to a computer. Students are divided into groups of three or four to discuss their response to the question. A stopwatch app is used by each group to track time of the group discussions. Jumbo Stopwatch for iPads and Timer - Stopwatch and Alarm for Android devices. During the discussion, each group decides on a reporter to provide a summary of their discussion. After five minutes, the reporter from each group shares responses to the question. 2. In large group, the teacher shows the Powtoon video, She Said What? demonstrating the reallife application of quotation marks used during a conversation between mother and daughter. (Jones, 2013) Then, discuss the importance of quotation marks in this situation and beyond. 3. In large group, the teacher shows the video Excuse Me, What Did You Say? (Jones, 2013) This video demonstrates punctuation rules for using quotation marks in writing. During the presentation, students will use Evernote to take notes about the punctuation rules presented. After the presentation, the teacher introduces graphic organizers presented in the Excuse Me, What Did You Say? Graphic Organizers presentation. Students will record notes in the graphic organizer. Explain they will watch the video again and use one of the graphic organizers to record their notes on each punctuation rule presented. Instead of using the graphic organizer, they may also choose to use Evernote as their mode of note taking and email the notes to the teacher when finished. A formative assessment grade will be taken from the graphic organizers for each student. 4. Students meet back in their groups from earlier with their mobile devices. a. Students prepare their individual journal or mobile device for note taking by choosing one of the graphic organizers as a guide. Using one mobile device, students watch the video and take notes, or update their Evernote notes, on each punctuation rule. The video may be paused when needing to ask a question, take notes, or discuss something being presented. b. Next, students practice identifying each punctuation rule by locating examples of each rule in articles from Time For Kids online. Students will read the following articles together using a mobile device and record an example for each punctuation rule individually in their notes. i.

Students individually practice the punctuation rules learned in this lesson through a suvey using PollDaddy.com and a mobile device. Students using iPads need to download Polldaddy. Students with Android devices need to download Phandoid News. Students without a mobile device will participate using the school laptops. Results from the survey will be used to determine understanding of quotation marks used in writing. Intervention: Students with writing and/or reading difficulties will use the TapToTalk app to explain the seven punctuation rules of quotation marks rather than take notes using the graphic organizers and finding examples in the Time For Kids articles. Evaluation/Assessment: Evaluate understanding through an online quiz using the Socrative app and an interview with an author. 1. Students use their mobile device to access the Socrative quiz. Students without a mobile device will participate using the school laptops. A summative assessment grade will be taken from the quiz for each student. 2. Students brainstorm a list of questions to ask an author. Using the Comic Touch app for iPads or Comic Maker for Android mobile devices, students create a cartoon using a photo on their device. The cartoon should include the main points of a conversation with an author. Using the created cartoon, students record a detailed interview conversation using the Dragon Dictation app to extend the conversation in the cartoon. Then, students revise the conversation from Dragon Dictation into a word processing document. The interview should be one to two pages. The conversation is edited by placing the correct punctuation into the writing, including the rules learned from this lesson. Students use imagination about the famous person's responses to all of the interview questions.
