*Students listen to a story and use the words from the story to create word cards of their favorite words.
*Students apply their knowledge of beginning sounds of words and letter sounds to match items correctly.
*Students create an online story using words from the teacher read aloud of "The Gingerbread Man." ]]> 2018-08-17 23:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827707 amberewil https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827760 I believe this lesson plans uses Gardner's linguistic, logical, visual, and musical theories.
*The linguistic theory is utilized during the teacher read along and student additions of their favorite words from the story.
* The logical theory is put into place when students are completing the Interactive Picture Match activity.
*The visual theory is utilized when students begin to create their own story online using the website Kids on the Net.
*The musical theory could be utilized during the teacher read aloud of "The Gingerbread Man" by reading the story to a beat, having students clap their hands, and singing the most popular part of the story-"Run, run as fast as you can.  You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man." This may help students remember words from the story.]]> 2018-08-17 23:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827760 amberewil https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827779 Students utilize higher level thinking skills through collaboration to create a class list of their favorite words from the story. 
Students utilize their knowledge of letters and sounds to match pictures accordingly through the use of an interactive online activity.
Students use new vocabulary words to create an online story that they share with their teacher.  ]]> 2018-08-17 23:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827779 amberewil https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827792 Students are evaluated in three different ways during this lesson.
*Teacher observations of student participation during shared reading activities.
*Assessment of student ability to identify and match letters and sounds during the interactive activity picture match by reviewing student printouts from the activity.
*Assess students' online stories for the use of new words from the story "The Gingerbread Man."

*Whole group conversations about the story.
*Teacher instruction on how to use the Picture Match online interactive game.
*Direct instruction of how to use the Kid Net writing site.
*One-on-one/small group instruction during the cooperative learning times.]]> 2018-08-17 23:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827800 amberewil https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827830 This lesson plan did not have a cooperative learning component, but I would like to add one.  
Students could work in pairs to create a list of their favorite words from the story "The Gingerbread Man."
*Students could work in pairs to create a rough draft of their online story to allow peer tutoring of high/low students to work together.  
*This would give way to the self-esteem component. Students could work in pair to tutor or help one another with the rough draft of their story.  
*Teacher could touch base with each student while the class is working with a partner to ensure each student understands their task. Teacher could provide supports, as needed. Use of graphic organizers, picture cards, etc. could be utilized for struggling students.

Experimental: students use their knowledge of letter sounds to complete an interactive online activity.
Holistic: students utilize words from the teacher read aloud story to create an online story of their own.
Authentic: students use their knowledge and teacher guidance throughout this lesson.
Expressive: Students create their own online story using words from the teacher read aloud book.
Reflective: Not noted in lesson, but could be added by allowing students to reflect on their story and those written by their peers.
Social: Not noted in the original lesson plan, but I noted in the self esteem and cooperative learning section through partner work.

Democratic: Students discuss the book "The Gingerbread Man" with the teacher and peers.  Students create a list of their favorite words from the story as a whole group activity.
Cognitive: Students transfer their knowledge of new words form the teacher read aloud story to create a story of their own.
Developmental: Lesson is developmentally appropriate. Adaptations could be made, as needed. The use of graphic organizers, picture cards, peer tutoring, and one-on-one instruction could be added to this lesson.
Constructivist: Students recreate ideas from the teacher read aloud story through the writing of their own online story.
Challenging: Teacher challenges students through the online picture match activity and by allowing students to create their own online story using words from "The Gingerbread Man."

I'd set up the kindergarten classroom similar to the picture below with tables for whole group activities. I'd utilize a small table for small group instruction and a carpet on the floor for story time, group discussion, etc. I'd make sure there was a quiet are for reading set up in the classroom, along with a word wall for students to use during writing times. In the lesson plan the teacher comments on visiting the computer lab for technology integration. I'd plan on this, as well, to allow all students access to computers at the same time. If I had the use of computers or iPads in the classroom, I'd utilize them for technology integration daily. ]]> 2018-08-17 23:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827969 amberewil https://padlet.com/amberewil/pojcmdz6qohz/wish/273827985 There are many opportunities for technology integration in this lesson plan.  
*Students are taken to a computer lab to access an online interactive picture match activity.  During this activity students will match the beginning sound of a picture to a letter at the bottom of the computer screen.  They will print their picture matches when complete.
*Students will use their new words from "The Gingerbread Man" book to create an online story.  Students will utilize the website Kids on the Net to create and share their stories.  
*Students will send they story to their teacher using the "send my writing" tab on the Kids on the Net site.
