Context: Why are you teaching this particular lesson? What comes before this lesson in the
larger unit? What previous knowledge will students be bringing into the lesson? What comes
after this lesson in the larger unit? What are you teaching in order to prepare students for the
next lesson topic?

There is no prior lesson to this one. This will be one of the first lessons I teach my students.
Learning the alphabet is very important and a necessity to moving on and learning greater
things. Students need no prior knowledge coming into this lesson. After this lesson, students will
begin to learn words that start with certain letters and begin to form sentences. I will be teaching
my students how to pronounce and write each letter of the alphabet.

Data: How will students be grouped in this lesson? What hypothetical data will these groupings
be based on? How will data be collected in this lesson for future groupings and teaching?

Students will be paired in small groups at random for a small portion of this lesson. The small
groups will show individual growth throughout the lesson

Materials: List all materials used (i.e. websites, apps, pencils, iPads, computers, worksheets,
diagrams, textbooks, etc.)

White board and dry erase marker, ipad, ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics app, interactive white
board, powerpoint slide show, quiz worksheet

Detailed paragraphs from here on down.

Procedures:

1. Students enter classroom

Introduction (5 minutes):

I will start the lesson by asking my students if anyone has heard of the alphabet before. Then I
will play the ABC song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75p-N9YKqNo). When the song is
over I will ask if anyone has heard that song before and ask everyone what their favorite letter
is.

Teacher Directed (30 minutes):

I will have a powerpoint that I will be showing. The powerpoint contains each letter of the
alphabet. This will allow me to teach my students each letter and how to pronounce each letter.
After the powerpoint, I will ask questions and have students come up to the board and write the
letter that I ask.

Collaborative (15 minutes):

Students will be put into groups of 3 at random by picking sticks out of a cup. Each group will
have a whiteboard and a dry erase marker. I will out loud sound out a letter and the students
have to work together to write the letter that they think it is on their whiteboard. When all my
students have a final answer they are asked to flip over their board and all told at the same time
when to flip their board over and hold it up so that I can see their answers.

Independent Digital (20 minutes):

Students will all have their ipads and be on the ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics app. With this
app, it will have them practice on their own. The app with start with the letter A and go through
Z. With each letter, it will ask them to trace it while being directed then to trace it on their own. If
some students finish early, they can move on to the mini quiz game until the rest of the students
are done.

Closure (30 minutes):

Using the ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics app on the interactive whiteboard, I will put on the mini
games section of the app. The app will put the question on the board and students will raise
their hand if they know the answer. When a student is called on, he/she will come up to the
board and answer the question. After everyone goes once, I will then hand out a mini quiz
worksheet as an exit ticket that will assess how much my students learned today. I will then play
the ABC song again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75p-N9YKqNo).

Rationale: You must have at least two paragraphs (one for each mandatory piece of multimedia)

(Multimedia 1= App or website): Why this piece of multimedia? How does it support student
learning and your standards and objectives? How do you know it is of high-quality? Evaluate
this multimedia against the LORI criteria in the 406: Evaluating Multimedia module to support
your rationale. How does this multimedia choice differentiate instruction for all learners (consider
differentiation and assistive technologies)?

ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics app is a helpful app that teaches and quizzes the students about
the alphabet. It is guided learning as well as free learning at the students pace. I know that this
app is high-quality because I downloaded it and used it to learn the ins and outs before having
the students use it. This app includes content, skilled, and function based learning.

(Multimedia 2= App, website, video, educational game, song, podcast, etc.): Why this piece of
multimedia? How does it support student learning and your standards and objectives? How do
you know it is of high-quality? Evaluate this multimedia against the LORI criteria in the 406:
Evaluating Multimedia module to support your rationale. How does this multimedia choice
differentiate instruction for all learners (consider differentiation and assistive technologies)?

This ABC song is a useful song because being able to sing the ABC song is the ultimate goal in
the long run. After this lesson is over, the song ultimately teaches them the order that the letters
go in the alphabet. The song is high quality because it contains the correct order of the
alphabet.
