Online Projects, Collaboration Sites and Publishing Opportunities Lesson Idea Name: American Revolutionary News Content Area: Social Studies Grade Level(s): 4th Content Standard Addressed: SS4H1 Explain the causes, events, and results of the American Revolution. a. Trace the events that shaped the revolutionary movement in America: French and Indian War, 1765 Stamp Act, the slogan “no taxation without representation,” the activities of the Sons of Liberty, the activities of the Daughters of Liberty, Boston Massacre, and the Boston Tea Party Technology Standard Addressed: Knowledge Constructor & Innovative Designer Selected Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: SNO Journalism URL(s) to support the lesson: https://snosites.com/ Describe how you would incorporate an Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your classroom: My lesson would allow students to create and publish articles that they create about events that led up to the Revolutionary War. Students will do online research, through our district database, to collect information on events from the standard above. Students will then create articles that describes what happened during events from the standard. After students have turned in their drafts, I will review them for mechanical or content errors. After any errors have been resolved, we will then post the articles online, on our website that is hosted by SNO.com. students will then have the opportunity to look and learn from their peers on other events of the Revolutionary War. What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom? Technologies that would be required include computers/tablets with internet access. A word processor, such as Microsoft Word, would be needed to create notes and preliminary works. Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level). a. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (creating original data and or producing original products as a result of engaging in a project): Students will create their own articles on events they research b. Higher-order thinking: Students will create their on articles, accessing high order thinking skills c. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: Other people can access and see their original articles and learn about the events of the Revolutionary War

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Students with poor handwriting can type, making their product easier to read and grade. Engagement: Options of language and symbols Representation: Options for Expressive Skills and Fluency Action and Expression: Options for Recruiting Interest Lesson idea implementation and Internet Safety Policies: There are no restrictions for student age for this website. If there is an objection from a parent for a student to use the site, I, the teacher, can post the student’s article. Reflective Practice: I feel this lesson plan is a good summative assessment to assess the student’s learning. I would also hope to, in the future, find a website that costs less and is more functional.
