TPACKgame

** TPACK Game (due 7/20) **

** TPACK Game Project Directions ** Each learning team will choose three random cards – one with a pedagogy (teaching method), one with a content area, and one with a technology. Students will work in their learning teams to brainstorm a lesson plan that effectively incorporates all three elements. When writing the lesson plan, either use the standardized JPTAAR Format or a narrative noting subject, grade level, curriculum standards and objectives, materials (including the technology needed), procedures and assessment strategies. Completed work will be posted and shared via the class wiki. In addition to the lesson plan (worth 16 points), students will read the other teams’ lesson plans on the wiki and reflect on what level of technology integration they feel the lesson exemplifies AND write about how the lesson could be revised/modified to raise the level in a brief reflection paragraph via the comment section on the wiki (worth 4 points).

**Group 1 Rockfish (Molly Schaefer, Ashley Brown, Brian Eney)** Lesson Plan Taught by the Rockfish Group (Molly Schaefer, Brian Eney and Ashley Brown)

Museum-based learning occurs in an information-rich environment and involves object-based and hands-on learning.

**Topic**: DNA-- the parts of it and what they do

**State Goal and Objectives:** The students will investigate how traits are inherited and passed on from one generation to another (state standard)
 * The student will explain how a genetic trait is determined by the code in a DNA molecule.
 * definition of gene (a segment of DNA that codes for a protein or RNA)
 * sequence of nitrogen bases directing protein formation (role of DNA, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA)
 * proteins determine traits

**Lesson Objectives**: Students will recognize the parts of DNA and understand their purposes.

**Materials:** models (gumdrops, toothpicks)  computers with MS paint (or equivalent) software  textbooks <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> projector and internet connection

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Warm-up:** Previously, students completed the “know” and “wonder” sections of a KWL chart. Then, they made a trip to Maryland Science Center where they listened to an interactive lecture on DNA. As a warm-up, students should complete the “learn” section and share their responses.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * The students watch a short video clip: <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">__http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-hrLs03KjY&feature=related__ <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> by Dr. Nguyen Thanh <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cong working at the Agricultural Genetics Institute in Hanoi, VIETNAM <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This video will reinforce the knowledge they gained on their trip to the Maryland Science Center.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Activities: **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * The teacher should ask, “what new information did you learn? How was the video <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">different than what you learned at the science center yesterday?”

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * Transition: “Now that we’ve seen several other people’s interpretations of DNA, we are <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">now going to make our own models of DNA”

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * The students will work in teams of three to construct three-dimensional models of a <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">strand of DNA using the gumdrops and toothpicks based upon what they remember.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * The different teams will examine each other’s models.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> * Students will use MS Paint (or an equivalent software program) to draw the DNA <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">models they have just created. Students will label each part of the DNA structure and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">explain its purpose in relation to the others. Students may refer to their textbooks and other materials.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Drawing and explaining the roles of the parts of DNA is the formative assessment that the teacher will use to assess the students’ knowledge and understanding of the parts of a strand of DNA. If the teacher finds more foundational knowledge is required, he/she will provide it, otherwise, the class will continue on to the next lesson. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> This lesson will be assessed on the summative assessment. The students will be provided with a drawing of the DNA model and they will be asked to label the parts and their functions.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Assessment: **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Assignment:** Using their KWL charts and other resources, students should write and revise a formal paragraph about what they have learned about DNA. The paragraph should include the parts of the DNA structure and their functions. This will be due the following class period.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #e45c0c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rationale for Lesson: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #e45c0c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This lesson will provide students with critical thinking skills. Students will be forced to look beyond the reading and examine words they are unfamiliar with in an effort to explain the words to their classmates. A web-based discussion group (class facebook group) will be utilized by the teacher and the students. Performing this activity will improve the spelling and vocabulary skills of the entire class. Case-based instruction will be utilized and concentrate on instruction that is: learner-centered, collaborative and cooperative between group participants, and the articles will discuss specific situations and real-world examples.

<span style="color: #3403ce; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Students will carry out a treasure hunt activity, using directions from a class blog in teams. This will require significant preparation by the teacher before class. The teacher will need to set up a blog with password blocked content. Students will be given initial instructions (written on the blog) that will direct them to use their tools to find a hidden paper with a word and a number. The word will constitute a part of the passphrase that they will complete. The number will be the password to the next instruction that they need to follow on the blog. An example of initial instruction: “Perpendicular to the edge of the white board face the door, move forward ten feet. Your objective is two and a half feet above the ground.” The student following the directions would find their goal on the underside of the table. An example finding would read “Find 893”. The student would write down the word and revisit the blog, using the number to unlock the next instruction. <span style="color: #3403ce; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> This activity may be made to variable difficulty by changing the length of the passphrase (number of instructions) or the complexity of the directions. The teacher may also vary the size/number of the teams, and decide on the number of instructions. The words used may be repeated in different orders for team’s passphrases so that the teacher does not have to create too many different instructions (e.g. Tom Eats The Giant Octopus, The Giant Octopus Eats Tom)
