Clara Barton

• Full Text Lesson Plan

2
Lesson Objectives

• Using a scanner, the students will be able to
  scan and save a picture of Clara Barton. They
  will then be able to go to my webpage and
  complete a webquest activity. By doing the
  webquest the students will learn briefly about
  Clara Barton and what she did to make history.

3
Lesson Objectives

• After gathering information using the given
  URLs, the students will be able to use Microsoft
  Publisher to create a brochure about Clara
  Barton. They will learn how to use Publisher and
  will apply the photo that they scanned to their
  brochure.

4
Introduce the Activity

• I will introduce the activity by showing pictures
  of Clara Barton. I will then ask the students if
  they know how she is. If they need help figuring
  it out, I will show them more clues, such as the
  American Red Cross symbol or pictures of her
  helping civil war soldiers.

5
Introduce the Activity

• After they identify Clara Barton, I will tell
  them that they will be using a scanner to scan
  the picture onto the computer and save it to use
  later. Next, I will tell them that they will be
  using my webpage to do a webquest activity on the
  computer (probably with a partner.)

6
Introduce the Activity

• After using the webquest to research about Clara
  Barton, they will use Microsoft Publisher to
  create a brochure featuring Clara and the picture
  they scanned earlier.

7
Provide Information

• To begin, I would start by introducing Clara
  Barton by using photos. Next, I would teach the
  students how to scan the photos into computer and
  save them. Then I would show the students, using
  the overhead projector, how to access my webpage
  and webquest.

8
Provide Information

• I will show them how to use the webquest and the
  given URLs to gather information about Clara
  Barton. I would show the students how to use
  Microsoft Publisher to create their own brochure.
  I would demonstrate how to choose a template, a
  font scheme and a color scheme.

9
Provide Information

• After teaching them how to use Publisher, I
  would show them how to insert the photo that they
  scanned into the brochure. Lastly, I would show
  the students how to save and print their finished
  brochures, and tell them what information is
  expected to be in the brochure.

10
Provide Practice

• In order to provide practice, I would have to
  students get into groups (pairs or threes) and
  practice scanning the photo onto the computer.
  After doing it in groups, each student will try
  it themselves. I will do the same thing with
  Microsoft Publisher, allowing the students time
  to get used to the program.

11
Provide Knowledge of Results

• As the students work on using the scanner and
  Publisher, I will be there to walk around and
  assist students who may be having trouble. I will
  give them verbal feedback on how they are doing
  or what they need to do differently. Also, as I
  walk around I will give positive written feedback
  to each student to encourage them.

12
Review the Activity

• To review the activity I will verbally quiz the
  students as we go along, or as a problem arises,
  on the steps and procedures of the different
  technologies. Also, at the end I will have each
  student share the information that they found on
  Clara Barton to make sure that everyone got the
  information and to review before the assessment.

13
Method of Assessment

• To assess the students I will be grading their
  brochures for accurate information as well as for
  their use of Microsoft Publisher and the scanner.
  After we have a discussion about everyones
  brochure, I will have the students individually
  complete a crossword puzzle about Clara Barton as
  an assessment of what they learn through the
  activity.
