Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)
The teacher will demonstrate how to use Popplet and introduce concept mapping. Using the T-chart, the
student will take turns creating new popples for Thomas Jefferson’s personal characteristics. The student will
then each get an iPad and create their own Popplet describing Jefferson’s physical traits (students may use
the ideas we generated for the personal traits or come with their own.) The independent portion of this
lesson will also be used as a summative assessment. To extend the learning to higher levels, DOK questions
will be asked to prompt students to analyze the difference between physical and personal characteristics and
how the two relate.
Reflective Practice:
To further extend the lesson, the student will save their Popplet and use it as a guide to write a narrative
about Thomas Jefferson. The activities created will spark the student’s interest in order to brainstorm
information. This lesson can be differentiated for struggling learners and EL’s. To take this lesson up to a
higher LoTi level, we can publish the student’s Popplets on the class website.
