Intel Lesson 2
 * Beth Doran - 7th grade reading support - Literature Circles **

Unit Description This unit is an extension of an independent reading unit. In this independent reading unit, students were put into literature circles based on their current reading ability and interest. Students meet weekly to discuss their book and share insights and questions. Each meeting, students complete a specific role. Those roles range from discussion director to word finder. This unit will integrate their weekly meetings with the Web 2.0 tools. The integration of this unit is to further their understanding of Web 2.0 tools in addition to their independent novel.  Within this unit, students will create a series of blogs. These blogs are written as “a day in the life” of a specific character from the book. Students will also make a glogster poster on their given book. Each poster has specific requirements, but can be put together with creativity. Finally, students are required to answer discussion questions based on their books. Username: doran23 Password: doran23

Due to lack of time, my students were unable to finish their glogster poster by the end of this deadline. They are continuing to work on it once a week to try and finish. Students are not able to link their posters until they are finished and published. In order to look at the posters in progress, please log into the glogster site and look at the following students: Brittany, Brian, Kyra, Donell, in the Winn-Dixie book section.

Intel Lesson 1
 * Beth Doran - 8th Grade Special Education Replacement Reading **

Unit Description This is a reading unit plan for five 8th grade SPED students based on their functional and academic level of 6th grade. The unit was made to fit each student's IEP. The Web 2.0 tools my students will be using are wikispaces and wordle. Students made two lists of adjectives to make wordles. One to describe themselves and the other to describe a character from the book. The students then uploaded both wordles on their own wiki page. Students were then to use the wordles to write a compare/contrast paragraph. Students were also given different situations, from the story, to problem solve and relate to their own lives and were to post their answers on a discussion board. After these are posted, students were to comment on other posts.
