Strand 5.2 Conducting Investigations:

5.2.2 Gather and analyze information using appropriate information technologies to answer the question posed. 5.2.3 Construct an answer to the question posed and supports their answer with evidence. 5.2.4 Report the results of their investigation including procedures followed and possible alternative conclusions Overview of Lesson Plan: The students will be shown 4 pictures of famous people from black history on the first day, Harriet Tubman, Madame C.J.Walker, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. The next day the groups will be formed and the name of the 4 famous people will be placed in a hat. The leader of the group will pick the person that the group will make their collage of and pass it around. The group will be given a chance to sit together and write their sentences. Wednesday the student will go to the computer lab to learn about how to use Dropbox.com. This where each student will put their sentence so that everyone in the group can see what their peers have written. This link will take you to the website http://www.Dropbox.com. Where each group will put their sentence. Each person must create an account and then login to put their sentence and you click share so that every group can see the sentences and try to guess who your person is. As your peers are guessing, each member group may begin to search the internet for pictures and start the collage. Here is a link that will show an example a collage of one of www.picmonkey.com When you click on this link, it will take you to the PicMonkey page where you can make a free collage of the person your group has chosen.
