<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete their short story and then after peer reviews and teacher reviews they will turn their stories into a graphic novel. After everyone's short graphic novels are completed and posted online, students will respond with comments and questions. The students will use ComicFury to create their own website for their comic.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: Comic life is a great way for students to apply what they've learned. They have analyzed different authors’ remakes and techniques and in the project they can use those. **
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Assessments __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will also use the "blog" feature on the comic hosting website to post their short stories (so both versions are in the same place), a blog on the tools they used, one on the literary devices and techniques they used, and one more listing their new vocabulary words that they learned and used in their short story. Students will also present. During their presentation they will go over what the process was like for them and briefly go over what was in their blogs. Their blogs can also be used as a form of reflection. If students feel uncomfortable posting a reflection online they may use their journals. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">(**K**-**W**-L) [At the start of the unit] In a journal respond to the following questions; to you what is literature? What sort of literary devices were used in the last book you read? How did the author influence that book? What do you want to learn in this class? What is your favorite aspect of literature?
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Pre-Assessment: __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Story Maps. Students will make fill in a story map graphic organizer for one of their story ideas. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Story board fill-in activity. Students will be given a black story board and asked to fill it in, in about 10 or 15 minutes with a random story that they come up with on the spot. This is to get their creative juices flowing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The quick five minute story board exercise, and also a journal response answering the following questions: "What sort of literary devices might you use in a story? A graphic novel?"
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Formative (Assessment for Learning) __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section I – checking for understanding during instruction **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Group brain storms. Students get into groups and think about story ideas, genres, and character development. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Three Step Interview. This is an interview with a peer. Once students have an idea of what they are doing they find a partner and one student pretends to be a representative of a publishing and the other is trying to pick their interview. After this they share, and then switch roles. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Peer interviews. Students read over each other’s short stories. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*"Check points". At random intervals the teacher will check in with students individually throughout the process. __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">ComicLife/Comic Nation: __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will create their own short stories. The short stories must contain vocabulary that is new to the student, and contain literary devices and techniques that we’ve discussed in class. A literary device archive will be provided as a resource for students. After creating a short story students will remake their stories and transform them into a short graphic novel rendition. Students can use pictures or draw out there comics. The students will create their own website for their comics using “comic fury”. They will also make two “artist blogs” about the process of transforming their short stories. Students will also comment on their peers short graphic novel renditions. Links to all the short graphic story renditions will be put on the class wiki. **40 Points** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Comic life-Students will use comic life to make their comics. This will not only ease the process for them but also give them a lot of options that are not available doing it the traditional way. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Comic Fury-This is so students can easily access and comic on their peer comics. This also gives them a website of their own which includes a blog section. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Photography: Students will most likely take pictures for their comics. If not they will still have to keep in mind photographic elements and techniques when placing their drawn images into the panels. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Home economics/"Real world" preparedness: When students go through the webquest they will be treated as adults with a writing job. There will be deadlines and requirements. This will help prepare them for when they get "real" jobs.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher) **
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Summative (Assessment of Learning): __**

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Technology: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Content Areas: **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Story Maps. Students will have story maps to help them map out their story and ensure that their stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Students may also work with each other throughout the comic making process. One student may help another take pictures with theirs and then they switch the next day. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Interviewer/Interviewee for editing activity. This is to help students get multiple opinions on their story and help make sure that it is cohesive.

 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Differentiated Instruction __**


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">MI Strategies __**


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Naturalist: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students can choose to take pictures instead of draw them. They can go outside to take their pictures and get inspired and use creative weather effects, etc.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Intrapersonal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The final product is done alone although there is a lot of feedback and group brainstorming done throughout the process.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Visual: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic life (the program that will be used to create the comics) is very visual in nature. Border shapes and sizes can be edited and altered.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Musical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic like makes sounds effects that go alone with certain actions. For example stretching a panel makes a certain noise. Also students can have a link to a song they want people to listen to while they are reading their comics linked in their blog or they can put it in a comment on their cover page.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Verbal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> There will be a class brainstorming activity as well as the interview activity which will help engage verbal learners.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Logical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic can be organized in a linear way, also the story maps work very similarly to charts.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Kinesthetic: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comics can be photographed. Students will get to get up and take pictures or even "act"/model for their comics as well. Students can also include motion/action lines to give their comics a lot of motion.


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Modifications/Accommodations __**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan) //**//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. //


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Plan for accommodating absent students: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students who are absent will go through the interview process with their email buddy over email and can either do this with the teacher as well or meet with the teacher outside of class.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Gifted Students: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Stories should be more complex and contain more literary elements. There might be subplots in their story or simply contain a lot of symbolism or meaning. This depth should also translate to the comic life as well.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Cameras <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Comic life software <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*One to one computers <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*White board and markers

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The room will be in a "U" shape. There will be no clusters. The "U" will help for when tutorials are being shown. Students should be working individually unless they are taking pictures and they will probably not be filming in the classroom. Scripts need to be approved by the teacher before students are given a camera.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">DAY FIVE <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Read work, respond to peers (30 min) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Time to polish work (30 min) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Work on blog entries (20 min)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">DAY SIX <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Presentation Day (80 min)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will understand that literature is very diverse and represents and emphasizes many different events, objects, and meanings. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Being able to create different forms of literature and manipulating already existing literature gives students the abilities to send messages and make statements and recreate things and make it their own. A modern example of this is some graffiti. The hook will be a “So You’re A Cartoonist?” comic to help students get excited and motivated about creating their own story and graphic novel remake. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will know important events and people and vocabulary of literary devices and techniques. In this final lesson students will be using literary devices and techniques in their own context. They will be applying all that they have learned to their own creations. To be sure that the students never “fall off the tracks” there are many check-points along the way. There is an “interview” process, peer review, and multiple teacher reviews and time for self assessment. It is important to catch small errors early before they snowball. Also letting a student know how good they are doing can be very motivation. Students will also have a rubric to work off of so they are never unsure of what is expected of them. (See Content Notes) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The quick five minute story board exercise, and also a journal response answering the following questions: "What sort of literary devices might you use in a story? A graphic novel?".

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete their short story and then after peer reviews and teacher reviews they will turn their stories into a graphic novel. After everyone's short graphic novels are completed and posted online, students will respond with comments and questions. The students will use ComicFury to create their own website for their comic. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will also use the "blog" feature on the comic hosting website to post their short stories (so both versions are in the same place), a blog on the tools they used, one on the literary devices and techniques they used, and one more listing their new vocabulary words that they learned and used in their short story. Students will also present. During their presentation they will go over what the process was like for them and briefly go over what was in their blogs. Their blogs can also be used as a form of reflection. If students feel uncomfortable posting a reflection online they may use their journals. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">There will be "check points" throughout the process where the teacher checks in with each student individually. The student will be graded on two rubrics. One for their ComicFury website and its contents and one for their presentation. Before they are graded they will be given peer feedback and go through a three step interview process to receive critique and compliments. Students will also post feedback on their peers’ website. Students are also given multiple opportunities to self-evaluate and edit.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A metaphor is when we use an object or noun of any sort to describe something that is less well-known. This could be an author using an elephant to describe his/her main character. For example “Old Charles was an elephant, strong and sturdy”. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">And the simile

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">EX: “__His body was **like** an old beat up VW__, rounded and rusty.”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A simile is very similar to a metaphor. A simile is more of a comparison, and most commonly uses the words “like or “as”. For example “Old Charles was like an elephant. He was strong and sturdy like most elephants are.”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Foreshadowing is another frequently used literary device. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Foreshadowing is when an author hints at something later to come in the story. This could be a phrase or image. For example if a character dreams of pouring himself a glass of water, but the glass overflows and then later in the story there is a flood, there is a good chance that the author used the dream to foreshadow the flood.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A place where students can look up vocabulary words <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[|dictionary.com] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Vocabulary list (9-10th grade level) <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">To get story board layouts <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[|http://www.pdfpad.com/storyboards/] <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The students will go through the interviews, both as the interviewer and interviewee. They will also receive feedback from the instructor at some point within the story and graphic shot story making process. Students will also brainstorm ideas and possible tools and resources for this project together (possibly done as a class).

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">In this lesson students will be able to create something of their own. This lets them use what they have learned in a way that interests them. Applying their learning in this way helps them remember what they have been going over in class and begin to see what they can do with the knowledge they have gained. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">MI Strategies: //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Naturalist: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students can choose to take pictures instead of draw them. They can go outside to take their pictures and get inspired and use creative weather effects, etc.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Intrapersonal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The final product is done alone although there is a lot of feedback and group brainstorming done throughout the process.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Visual: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic life (the program that will be used to create the comics) is very visual in nature. Border shapes and sizes can be edited and altered.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Musical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic like makes sounds effects that go alone with certain actions. For example stretching a panel makes a certain noise. Also students can have a link to a song they want people to listen to while they are reading their comics linked in their blog or they can put it in a comment on their cover page.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Verbal: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> There will be a class brainstorming activity as well as the interview activity which will help engage verbal learners.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Logical: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comic can be organized in a linear way, also the story maps work very similarly to charts.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Kinesthetic: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Comics can be photographed. Students will get to get up and take pictures or even "act"/model for their comics as well. Students can also include motion/action lines to give their comics a lot of motion.


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Type II Technology: Comic Life and ComicFury //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: Comic Life allows students to create their own version of what they have been study all unit. Comic Fury allows students to share and feel published. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner. //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The quick five minute story board exercise, and also a journal response answering the following questions: "What sort of literary devices might you use in a story? A graphic novel?". <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete their short story and then after peer reviews and teacher reviews they will turn their stories into a graphic novel. After everyone's short graphic novels are completed and posted online, students will respond with comments and questions .The students will use ComicFury to create their own website for their comic. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will also use the "blog" feature on the comic hosting website to post their short stories (so both versions are in the same place), a blog on the tools they used, one on the literary devices and techniques they used, and one more listing their new vocabulary words that they learned and used in their short story. Students will also present. During their presentation they will go over what the process was like for them and briefly go over what was in their blogs. Their blogs can also be used as a form of reflection. If students feel uncomfortable posting a reflection online they may use their journals.

A student may know something very well but be a poor test taker, and if all the instructor does is give tests than that student never gets to share their abilities. //** || [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/_/4k0z606x/i/c.gif width="1" height="600"]] ||  ||
