Day 1Opening (Classroom Teacher)
Think-Pair-Share ndash Students will be asked to think about what they know about podcasts Students will then jot down thoughts and share with a partner Each pair will share out with the larger group
Direct Instruction and Modeling (Media Specialist) The media specialist will discuss podcasting using a Prezi presentation entitled ldquoPodcastsrdquo
Students will take Cornell notes jotting down important terms definitions explanations or illustrations related to podcasting httpprezicomdijwdhrdi23dpodcasts
Students will also view a video on podcasting Students will be asked to reflect on what they have learned about the sources of energy in
previous science classes Exit Card 1 ndash Create a post card to share with a parent to explain podcasting
Day 2Guided and Independent Practice (Classroom Teacher and Media Specialist)
Students will be broken up into two groups The media specialist will work with one group while the classroom teacher works with the opposite group
K-W-L (Energy Conservation) Students will explain what they know and what they wonder about energy conservation
The classroom teacher will have students to share responses from the K-W-L leaving the L for the lesson closing Students will share what they know and wonder about energy conservation
Students will engage in a mini-lesson on energy conservation using Energy Quest The teachers will discuss the amount of energy that Americans use in comparison to other countries
The following website will be used during the mini-lesson httpwwwenergyquestcagovsaving_energy
Students will take Cornell notes during the mini-lesson Students will then complete a graphic organizer that shows ways to save energy at home at
school and in the environment Exit Card ndash Students will complete the L for what they have learned on their K-W-L charts
Students will be divided into groups of 2 for the remaining portion of the lesson
Day 3 Exploring and Independent Practice
The media specialist will start a discussion on Edmodo about energy conservation She will pose the following question Should Americans reduce their energy use considering how much more energy they use than people in other countries
Students will respond to the discussion question The media specialist and the classroom teacher will post comments adding to the discussion
Students will view podcasts on energy conservation and write additional information in their Energy Conservation graphic organizers

Exit Card 3 ndash 3-2-1 = 3 Things you know about energy conservation 2 Things that you still need clarified 1 Question you have for the teacher
Students will be instructed to bring their own technology (if applicable) to use for the podcast assignment
Day 4
Independent Practice Students will revisit all notes that they have taken related to podcasting and energy conservation Students are now ready to create their own podcasts Each pair will choose one activity from the
Energy Podcast choice board Before beginning the task students will write out a script that thoroughly discusses what they will
say during the podcast Exit Card 4 ndash Last Word Strategy (Podcast) ndash Students will do an acrostic poem for the word
podcast
Days 5 6 7Students will work on their podcasts Students must do a podcast on ways to conserve energy at home school within the environment
or ways for Americans to conserve more energy Students should news notes and explore otherweb resources of choice to complete this task
The podcast should be 5-10 minutes in length Students will work with their partners to completethis task
ReflectionStudents will answer the following questions to reflect on their experiences with podcasting-What have you learned from this experience- How did you benefit from working with a partner- What would you change about the assignment
Strategies for Differentiation- There were multiple means of delivering and discussing information about podcasting- Students worked on various tasks to move towards the product- Students were able to choose the method for podcasting and they will choose 1 assignment from
the Energy Podcast choice board

Instructionactivities(Provide explicit details for the lesson including the activities for both the teacher and the library media specialist)
ActivatorHook(Teacher or Media Specialist) A political cartoonist uses symbols pictures and familiar objects to make his or her point quickly and visually Show students the Political Cartoon of Adolf Hitler Ask the students to identify the elements of the picture

Guiding Questions Whorsquos in the picture What items are in the picture What do they meanStudents should then fill in the graphic organizer
(Sample)Important Words Versailles TreatyImportant Symbols German SoldierSummary
Background knowledge Students should be able to tell you what the Treaty of Versailles is and its historical significance in conjunction with Hitlerrsquos Party
Direct instruction The teacher will lead the students into a discussion about the political cartoon and their responses The teacher will clarify any misconceptionsmisunderstandings Key Points Hitler wants no part of the Treaty Hitler was actually forcedpressured to sign by the allied powers (United States Russia Great Britain France and Italy)
Modeling and guided practicePlace students in 7 learning communities of 4 each community will have a digital copy of the articles on ldquoThe Rise of the Nazisrdquo to outline The media specialist will assist students in accessing the information and maneuvering throughout the website and how to use the Timeliner program
From the articles students gather information that describes the economic social and political conditions in Germany from 1918 through 1933 Students will collaborate to create a timeline of events using the Timeliner program
Discuss conditions in Germany that potentially make the Germans accept Hitler as their leader

Independent practice Using the information presented in the political cartoon timeline and the profile of Adolf Hitler students will evaluate and draw conclusions of Hitlerrsquos rebellion and refusal of the Treaty of Versailles by responding to the question Why did Hitler rebel against the Treaty of Versailles (Teacher and media specialist facilitate assist students or see if students have any questions)If you could rewrite history and convince Hitler to accept the Treaty what would the outcome be Students will be assessed using the rubric listed below)
Sharing and reflecting Students will post their response on the class discussion board and respond to at least 2 classmates Students will then reflect on their learning by expressing their thoughts about Hitlerrsquos character in their Language Arts journal

Evidence of Collaboration Chris and I sent several emails initially through GoView We found that we had something in common ndash we both teach the same grade and content area We exchanged information such as email addresses and telephone numbers Because of our very busy schedules we shared ideas about lessons we wanted to do We decided that he would focus primarily one lesson and I would focus primarily on the other lesson We discussed the standards for each lesson together He focused on the Instructional plan for one lesson and I focused on the instructional plan for the other lesson After we completed our respective parts we sent the lesson plans to each other via Yahoo Google Docs He reviewed my work and provided feedback I did the same with his work I like the fact that through this process we constantly referred back to the assignment and rubric to see what we were missing and what we needed to revise in our plans We pulled together to get the job done and that we did As I look at both of the plans that we created it reflects collaboration with the two styles of writing

Evidence of Collaboration Chris and I sent several emails initially through GoView We found that we had something in common ndash we both teach the same grade and content area We exchanged information such as email addresses and telephone numbers Because of our very busy schedules we shared ideas about lessons we wanted to do We decided that he would focus primarily one lesson and I would focus primarily on the other lesson We discussed the standards for each lesson together He focused on the Instructional plan for one lesson and I focused on the instructional plan for the other lesson After we completed our respective parts we sent the lesson plans to each other via Yahoo Google Docs He reviewed my work and provided feedback I did the same with his work I like the fact that through this process we constantly referred back to the assignment and rubric to see what we were missing and what we needed to revise in our plans We pulled together to get the job done and that we did As I look at both of the plans that we created it reflects collaboration with the two styles of writing
