Online Lesson Planning Resources

Plurals – Language Arts focus. Elementary students are first asked to drag words with no endings into a box that automatically adds the appropriate plural ending (-s, -es, -ies) to the word. Then, students are asked to sort words by the ending added and to generate a spelling rule based on the categories created.

Caterpillar Sequences – Math focus. By moving circles apart, elementary students can practice identifying and completing number sequences.

Carrol Diags Shapes – Math focus. Middle-grade students are asked to sort the shapes into categories using mathematical terms such as symmetrical, asymmetrical, regular, irregular, and quadrilateral.

Illuminations – Math focus. NCTM standards based interactive website.

Diagramming an Atom – Science focus. Middle-grade students are asked to label elements such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. They are also asked to determine the atomic weight of elements using information gathered from the Periodic Table.

Introduction to Latitude and Longitude - Social Studies focus. Middle-grade students are asked to sort the shapes into categories using mathematical terms such as symmetrical, asymmetrical, regular, irregular, and quadrilateral.

Lesson Planning Resources

Additional InterWrite Lessons and Activities can be explored by visiting the InterWrite Educator's Resource Center. http://www.gtcocalcomp.com/erc/lessons.htmWorking with a partner, spend a few minutes using page 12 of your Participant Workbook to investigate one or two of the following lessons created by teachers using InterWrite in their classrooms. Pay particular attention to how various InterWrite tools can be used to make lessons more interactive:

Creating Your Own Lesson

Time permitting, you are now going to write a lesson plan for an activity that will allow you to integrate an InterWrite product into your classroom. Remember to keep this lesson simple to avoid becoming overwhelmed. Focused practice with new skills will increase the likelihood that InterWrite tools become a permanent part of your instruction.
