Evidence 1: [|M7_Blueprint.doc]

Rationale 1: This online class was created for my fifth graders during our poetry unit. During our poetry unit we analyzed poetry, discussed poetry devices, and composed poetry. Instead of having the students working in small groups in the classroom, students shared their ideas through a program called Edmodo. This program allowed to students to post their poetry, comment on their classmates poetry, and partake in discussions. This project challenged me to take my poetry unit and make it online. My students benefited from online discussions and sharing their poetry. Edmodo provided the students with a safe environment to share their feelings and comments. I plan on using this online class for the following years.

When creating this online class, the prep work and fore thinking too much careful consideration and research. I needed to make sure the content that I was presenting to my students was meaningful and authentic.

7.K.1 The teacher understands learning theory, subject matter, curriculum development, and student development to plan instruction and to meet curriculum goals based on content standards.

This unit provided my students with a new method for gaining knowledgle. Through the online course, students were engaged in various activities: discussion, analyzation, and creation.

7.S.2 The teacher plans for learning opportunities that recognize and address variation in learning styles, learning differences, and performance modes.

The planning needed to create this online course required me to focus on what goals and objectives I wanted my students to gain at the end of the unit. In addition I had to create activities along the way which would assist my students I reaching their final goal.

7.D.1 The teacher values both long-term and short-term planning.
