Module 6 Lesson Plan

Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)
Lesson Idea Name: The Animal Kingdom

Content Area: Science
Grade Level(s): 4th- 5th
Content Standard Addressed:

S5L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to group organisms using specific classification
procedures
a. Develop a model that illustrates how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrate and invertebrate)
and how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal) using data
from multiple sources.
Technology Standard Addressed:

Creative Communicator
Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the
platforms, tools, styles, formats, and digital media appropriate to their goals. Students:
a. Create original works or responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations
b. Communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects
such as visualizations, models, or simulations.
Selected Technology Tool: Bubbl.us

Levels of Technology Integration:

☒ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
☐ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-
driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

This tool, Bubbl.us, I feel would be helpful in incorporating components from each of the UDL principles. This
tool will tie in with the Engagement section due to the fact that it is digital and allows students to try out
different digital tools. The Representation or Action portion is incorporated in the lesson by allowing students
to create a concept map that best makes sense to them but also represent the concept we are discussing. The
expression component is seen when the students not only display what they heard and took note of during
the lesson, but it also shows me what works best for them, whether it is using lots of bright colors so that it
draws their attention or if they are very detailed in how they organize the information in the concept maps.
Lesson idea implementation: The students’ job will be to take in the information previously taught about
vertebrates and invertebrates and use it to create a concept map that works best for them in learning the

information. The students will retrieve a laptop from the classroom laptop cart. They will log into their
bubbl.us accounts previously established. Students will begin by establishing the categories vertebrates and
invertebrates, then students will add in short descriptions of both categories followed by inserting the
subcategories. Each student will be expected to include the information provided during class instruction such
as the main category titles with short descriptions, their subcategories and any categories that fall under
those. The teacher will circulate the room taking anecdotal records making certain each category and a short
description is displayed in their concept map. Each student will have access to their concept maps at any time
to review and revisit the information. The lesson will be concluded by allowing a few students to present their
concept maps to the class, allowing time for comments and observations from the class. The teacher will take
the time to evaluate each student’s concept map giving feedback on what may need to be changed or added.
If a concept map needs a great deal of correction, the teacher and student will work together one-on-one.
Reflective Practice:
I feel like this lesson, along with incorporating this tool will allow students the chance to feel creative and like
they are in control of making something that works for them instead of something that may work for
everybody. To further extend the lesson I would say as we go deeper into detail of each subsection or as we
add on to what we learn students will be able to go in and add onto their concept map. I feel that Board
Builder would also possibly be a good tool to use for this lesson as well.
