Lesson Alignment to Unit
Respond to the following items:

Grade Level: 4th Grade Class

a) Which specific unit objective(s) or target(s) are addressed by this lesson?

During the wiki assignment on the http://teachinginthe21stcenturyportfolio.wikispaces.com
Students will be able to do the following I can statements:
I can have an online discussion with my fellow classmates about the book we are reading.
I can read each chapter of the book online instead of a hard copy of the book.
Based on Leu (2011) article The New Literacies of Online Reading Comprehension: Expanding the Literacy and
Learning Curriculum article, online reading comprehension consists of a process of problem-based inquiry across
many different online information sources requiring several recursive reading practices such as reading online to
identify important questions and reading online to identify important questions and reading online to communicate
online information.
So during this lesson we will focus on Reading online to identity important questions and reading online to
communicate online information using the wiki as our mode of technology.

b) Connect the objectives to the state curricular documents.

CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.4.1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly
and when drawing inferences from the text.
ELA-Literacy.W.4.1: Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and
information.
KTRS 6 6.2 Uses available technology to implement instruction that facilitates student learning.
6.3 Integrates student use of available technology into instruction.
ISTE Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop
innovative products and processes using technology. Communication and collaboration: Students use digital media
and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning
and contribute to the learning of others.
IRA 2.3 Candidates use a wide range of texts (e.g., narrative, expository, and poetry) from traditional print, digital,
and online resources.
5.1 Candidates design the physical environment to optimize students use of traditional print, digital, and online
resources in reading and writing instruction.

c) Describe students prior knowledge or focus of the previous learning.

My students have had prior experience and practice in a traditional book club where we read a chapter, discuss it in a
small group circle, and partake in various comprehension activities.
