Name: Nancy Gerner Grade Level: 5th Grade

Description of Lesson: This is a music lesson in which students will apply technology skills learned in previous weeks. The students will have worked in small groups to pick a book to read (with a Hallowen theme), they will have practiced the reading of the book and then picked music to help emphasize the reading of the story. This lesson will involve videoconferencing with another school and actually reading their chosen story to a class in another location (hopefully in another town or country) using videoconferencing skills they learned in previous lessons. This class meets once a week for 43 minutes.

Alignment to 21st Century Standard: 1. Digital Age Literacy: Global awareness 2. Digital Age Literacy: Visual 3. Effective communication 4. High productivity

How specific standards are addressed: 2. Visual literacy: There will be visual elements in the project such as the use of webcasting to involve students from another (class/country). 3. Some collaboration is included here, both with classmates and with other students beyond the classroom. They will have to develop interpersonal skills as well as technology skills to do this effectively. 4. To meet the deadline for finishing and sharing their problem they will need to plan well and prioritize. This project requires the use of real- world tools such as wikis, digital cameras, and other tools they choose to use for the final product.
 * 1. Particiating in a collaborative project with others around the world will require cultural awareness, at least growth toward that.

PROCEDURE: 1. Students(in collaborative group) will decide which book to pick from a list of available books in the library & music room. 2. The students will break down the book into sections & decide who will read what portion of the book and who will do the taping (webcam operation).

3. The students will practice reading the book so the presentation will flow as if 1 person was reading with sugestions from the technition(webcast runner). 4. When fluency has been attained, the students will pick from a pre-determined list of songs which one will best enhance the mesage in the story. 5. The students will then practice reading the story with the music playing in the background until they (and the teacher!) are happy with the results. 6. Tthe students will then practice with a video camera to decide placement, angles, volume, etc. 7. The students will will be webcast w/sister school at pre-determined time. This will also be made available (through video taping) to parents- posted on line.

Creative use of web 2.0 tools: class wiki; web cast: creative choices(drawing for background, skype, Ning or other social networking sites): choice of presentation Instructional strategies: collaborative groups (formal & infomal, peer teaching, applying technology skills)

Evaluation: A rubric will be used to guide the production of the web cast (including choice of music for book presentation) ||
