For my TIE activity, I will be completing a lesson that covers the use of adjectives with my 1st graders. I will read the book titled Go Away, Big Green Monster by Ed Emberley and the students will then draw a picture of their own monster and write a sentence that describes the monster using at least two adjectives. The process of the independent practice is the following: (1) draw a monster, (2) describe the monster using adjectives, (3) put these adjectives into a complete sentence, and (4) proofread and turn in final sentence strip. After the first step, students will turn in their drawings and I will take a picture of each of their drawings with a digital camera. I will upload these pictures to our classroom blog, each as a separate entry. Once I have uploaded these pictures, students will be able to go to the computer station in small groups and go to the classroom blog to type in their final sentence strip below their picture. Students will be able to visit the classroom blog during stations at a later date and view the other students' work and post their comments.
The following are my TEKS for this lesson:
-English Language Arts and Reading: 1, 20, 21, 22
-Technology Applications: 2
I really like this idea because having the students create their own rendition of the monster makes it meaningful for them. I also love how your incorporating writing. Students can always use a little more writing practice!!I think its going to turn out great.
