Phase+4

What kinds of instructional methods are needed in light of content objectives and student characteristics? **Day 1: I will show the students how to create a basic power point presentation. I will incorporate different tools that the power point has. I will then have the students play around with the power point application, to see what they understand. I will tell them that their final evaluation on this lesson will be a power point presentation of their heritage.** **Day 2: Students will be given a topic to find different websites that cover that topic. When they have done this ,I will then allow them to come up with an appropriate topic that they would like to find out more about.** **Day 3: I will show the students how to get to my poster for this unit. I will go over all the different aspects of the poster. Students will then be given time to look over the poster and start researching their family-tree heritage. They may start working on their power point at this time also. I will encourage them to get as much information from family members as they can.** **Day 4: Students should be starting their power point presentations. I will walk around making sure that they are on the right path for what I expect from them. I will also answer any questions that they may have.** **Day 5: Students should be finishing up their presentations today. They should be making any last minute tweaks that they or I find necessary. We will be having the class share their presentations the following week.**

How can we prepare students adequately to use technologies? **We can prepare students to use technology by informing them about what to look out for and making sure they are safe when on the Internet.**
