 * Summary:**

Subject: English Language Arts. Aim: To recognize the illustrated picture and identify its name and letters.

The Aim chosen is to recognize the illustrated picture and identify its name and letters. The NYS Standard that applies best to this particular lesson plan would be Standard 1 which states “Students will read, write, listen, and speak for information and understanding. As listeners and readers, students will collect data, facts, and ideas, discover relationships, concepts, and generalizations; and use knowledge generated from oral, written, and electronically produced texts. As speakers and writers, they will use oral and written language to acquire, interpret, apply, and transmit information The Eric Research articles helped shape the design of our lesson plan by giving us a deeper understanding into how the actual plan will affect the students and how to approach the children in learning the desired material. In the document we used entitled Performance Descriptions Elementary School English Language Arts we were able to identify the many descriptions on Elementary English Language arts. The description are which are 1-Reading,2-writing 3-speaking, Listening and Viewing 4- Conventions ,Grammar and Usage of the English Language and 5-Literature. These are all techniques our group can use to help achieve our Aim. It will assist us in achieving our Aim in that we can accomplish, teach and help the child recognize the letter with the picture word. There are many ways, styles and methods of teaching children to read. The children begin the process of recognizing letters and putting them together as a word. Once a child recognizes the work a child then begins the process of comprehension of a story. Effective teachers should make reading enjoyable and fun. A teacher must bring exciting and fun books that open up a child imagination, the child should feel as if he/she is inside the story book. In another article we used entitled A brief rating scale of preschool childrens Interest in shared picutre book reading we also were able to get a deeper understanding on how to approach students with our lesson plan. The article shows us that the more children are interested in academic activities the more eager they are to learn and the more children read the more interested they will be in the material. This will help them with their success in school and it is also a very important element in a child's development. When teachers read stories to children every day, the children are excited to listen and pay attention, therefore this motivation and interest develops language, cognitive and literacy skills. In yet another article we have cited entitled Increasing Literacy skills in Kindergarten students we were able to get very useful information to use in the making of our lesson plan. As a group, we understood that as effective teachers we need to enhance the skills of literacy in kindergarten students, especially their language, writing and reading skills. A plan of action for helping children to become better readers is important. Those students who read well will have a bond connection for Academics in all areas of life. Also, children should be introduced to the library and visit the library often, and explain to them what the library provides for us and we should module reading to them so they can build good reading habits. The articles states that literacy skills is involved in reading and writing skills. If we motivate and encourage our students computer activities, games, mathematics activities, puzzles and coloring we can also help children progress with their skills. In order for a teacher to be successful with the children in being interested in reading, the teacher should involve the parent in helping the child read at home or the teacher should send picture cards that can go home with the child so they can practice together. In using the other articles entitled Building Decoding and Comprehension Skills into whole Language, Read Me a Song: Teaching Reading Using Picture Book Songs and Letter Recognition and Sound Identification, information was gathered that was useful in creating our Aim and lesson plan. As a group, we were able to gather that children learn by doing therefore examples from the teacher is a great demonstration for children to learn efficiently. Music gives organized patters to the brain, therefore if we put music and reading together a child has a better chance of learning. Students will apply knowledge of letters and letter sounds as they identify pictures in an illustrated book. Learning to recognize letters is important an early age for children because this basic knowledge of letters will allow them to expand their vocabulary. Letter names are similar to sounds therefore if a child understand and learns the letter they will begin to recognize the words. Also, music or traditional rhymes help children to remember and is the beginning of linguistic skills. Nursery rhymes allow children to identify themselves with the characters. A great way for a teacher to enhance this is telling the children the name of the letter and making sure child knows the place in the alphabet. Children can look in old magazines for pictures in which they hear the sound in the name of the picture.

__**Online Collaborative Writing Assignment**__


 * Group Definition of Wiki and Weblogs:**

A **__wiki__** is a gathering of web sites created to allow users who access it a chance to contribute or change the information, utilizing a simplified language. Wikis are usually used to create web pages and to strengthen work suck as community activities and curriculum websites. Wikis are used in many places such as business and schools.

A **__Web blog- its a web page that a person can post an event or news on a subect, A blog also combines text, images and links to other web pages.that way the viewers can leave their comments on the post they made.__

How could Wikis and/or Weblogs be used in your lesson plan?** A **Wiki** and a **Weblogs** can be used by all para's and teachers in everyday use, especially in the organizing,modifying and creating a lesson plan. Also it can be used for our students to review the homework assisgment and post their homework on the wiki page and the teachers can always review the wiki page and amend the students work. It will be very useful for the parents of our students to leave any comments,questions or feedback about the homework assignment.

Questions

Robots If someone asked you to draw a picture of a robot, how would it look? Like a person? That’s how we often picture robots in our minds. But real robots look many different ways. Some robots have TV cameras for eyes. Some have special cells that help them touch. Many have computer brains. How robots look depends on the job they have to do. Some can even have their parts changed so they can do different jobs. Some robots look like huge bugs. NASA sent Viking Landers to Mars in 1976. They moved around on the surface, picked up soil, and did experiments. Robots can do boring jobs. They can do dangerous jobs with fast-moving machinery. They can do messy jobs, such as spray painting. They can do jobs no person could do, such as picking up hot metal. Robots don’t get bored. They don’t get tired. They don’t mind getting <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">messy. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Some people are afraid robots will take jobs away from people. But that <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">doesn’t have to happen. After all, people are in charge of robots. People <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">must remember that robots are good at some things and humans are good at <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">others. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Some robots go around telling people that they don’t have to be afraid of <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">robots. These robots help people understand that robots can do dull, nasty <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">jobs so people can do better ones. <span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: LucidaSans-BoldItalic; mso-bidi-font-family: LucidaSans-BoldItalic;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Frutiger-Roman','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Frutiger-Roman; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">what robots can do || <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Frutiger-Roman','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Frutiger-Roman; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">what robots look like || <span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Which phrase **<span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Minion-Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Bold;">best **<span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">completes the chart? <span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">2.

Things like jelly glasses and coffee cans and pie tins. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Spoons, toothpicks, and plastic baggies. Popsicle sticks and paper cups. Pits <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">and seeds and other leftover parts of the foods you eat. And some potting <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">soil and sand from the supermarket. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Maybe your farm won’t grow a carrot or an orange. But with enough <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">sunlight and water and love, you should get a carrot plant or a small orange <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">tree. And lots of other leaves, vines, and sprouts. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">When you suck on an orange, or slurp a grapefruit, or pucker on a <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">lemon, save the seeds. Soak them overnight in warm water. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Next stick your fi nger up to your knuckle in a pot of soil. Make a few <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">holes like that and drop a seed into each hole. Be sure to plant the seeds <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">about one inch apart or they won’t have room to grow. Gently push the <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">soil to fi ll up each hole. Water it all slowly until the soil is all wet and some <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">trickles out the bottom of the pot. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">You have to trick these seeds into thinking they’re home in the tropics or <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">they won’t grow at all. So keep them in the sunniest window and give them a <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">rainstorm when they feel dry. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Not every seed will believe you and sprout. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Minion-Regular','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">But in two weeks, you’ll fi nd out just how many fruits you can fool.
