We have concluded that we plan to create one lesson plan on nursery rhymes. After planning on what our objective is, we have decided on how we wish to set up the lesson plan. Based on the various characters in the story, we plan on creating a lesson plan that we help the students identify the nursery rhyme characters. Hopefully, at the end of the elsson the students will have a better understanding of who nursery rhyme charcters are and how to identify them in other books.

Today, we will be deciding on whether or not we will be creating one or two lesson plans. Two lesson plans will mean that each of us will be teaching a separate leasson plan. One lesson plan means that we will be co-teaching. Then we will be searching on the computer for examples and other things we can use for the lesson plans.

Today, we accomplished the creating of the five effect questions about the book an posted them on the blog. Also, we accomplished the task of deciding on what lesson plans that we can create about the book. Having decided that 2 separate lesson plans can be created about the book, we then decided on which one of us would be creating what lesson plan. After the decision, we then began to search on the Internet for various ideas about the lesson plans we would be creating. The problem now will be to narrow down all the information so that we can each create a lesson plan that accomplishes what we would like to teach in the allotted time frame. There is so much information available and it will take some time to get just enough to create an effective lesson plan...

Questions

These would be the questions that I would ask the students about this book, "Once Upon a Time"....

1. Where would you have heard the title of the book, "Once Upon a Time" used before?
2. By looking at the cover, can anyone tell what the story of "The Three Little Pigs" is about?
3. Does anyone know what rhyming words are?
4. Can anyone give examples of rhyming words from the story?
5. Can anyone name any of the characters from fairy tales that are in the story?

After completing and publishing our pod cast, we are now ready to move on with the task. Today we are going to be working on the lesson plan for "Once Upon a Time". We will be focusing on getting ideas created and organized for a lesson plan that hopefully will be educational to students. We will see how it goes.....

Here is the link for our pod cast.... http://rebeccaandstacey.podOmatic.com

We have successfully published our pod cast reading of "Once Upon a Time".... We both listened to the recording and agreed that it was successful and that we should publish it. We found it a little difficult to get the right angle of the microphone, not only for the reading but also for the sound effects. After figuring out how to get the task accoplished, we finished our reading and approved the recording so that it was published.
