Resource Critique Activity

I chose to look at the Generating Grammar Gurus lesson plan for kindergarten. I like how the lesson plan breaks up the parts in sentences into different days with activities, and videos involved with each of them. First, introducing certain words kids see in sentences gives them some background on the topic. Then, beginning with nouns there is a BrainPOPJr. video which I really like as a resource because I remember BrainPOP videos being helpful for me in Elementary School. For the next day involving verbs an activity used is "act it out" which helps students understand that verbs are action words. Next, for adjectives a video can be shown, which incorporates the digital aspect, along with an "I Spy" game where the students use many adjectives to describe an object. Finally, to sum up all the parts of the sentence, if an interactive white board is available, they can practice going up to the front and ordering the sentence in the right way.

    This kind of lesson plan is perfect for Kindergarten since young children love to do interactive activities and feel like learning is fun. I also remember using BrainPOP and loving what I learned from the videos.

For my second independent learning project I created an infographic on the Civil War. This could be used as a poster in a teachers classroom or a fun handout that takes them through a timeline of events during the Civil War. It begins with events that triggered the start of the war and ends with the assassination of President Lincoln after the war concluded.

For this independent learning project I created a web quest that can be used in an elementary classroom, primarily for kindergarten-second grade students. My web quest focused on the holiday of Thanksgiving, and it has the students go through various resources to learn about the first Thanksgiving, and connect it to how they celebrate the holiday with their families today. I remember doing many activities like this during holidays to break up the normal lessons with something more fun and festive.   http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=362337
