<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The students will first read a book, “Dexter the Tough” by Margaret Peterson Haddix. As the students read in class and silently, the students will refer to the Online book club wiki for guidance. This wiki will serve as the curriculum page for this entire unit. Each reading assignment will include questions and a review sheet. Students will post answers to questions they select directly to the wiki. At the conclusion of the book, the students will use their review sheets to help develop a Prezi about the book. Students will use the outline sheet to help develop ideas the present the information the teacher requested on the digital storytelling page of the wiki. Once the outline sheet is developed, the students can use the resources mentioned on the wiki or resources they have found to help enhance their Prezi with pictures and graphics.

At the end of week 6, the students will share their Prezi with the class. As they view each project, students will refer to the questions listed on the conclusion page of the wiki. Students will record their answers in their daily writing journal. The class will debrief after all Prezis have been shared and help give positive criticism of each project. This will help students to reflect and apply improvements to the next assignment.

Here are a few of the articles I read to assist in the development of this project:

Authentic Learning: What does it really mean? [] This article helped me to understand what authentic learning is and how to apply this to my unit plan.

Schrock’s guide [] I used this site to reference materials regarding rubrics. I also used this site as a general guide in areas where I needed guidance. This site is a great resource for any lesson.
