I decided to have students work individually on creating their tangram
characters and folktales. I also created a graphic organizer for
students to plan their folktales which was extremely helpful
Instructional
Objectives
Students Will:
Explore tangrams to create animals/people
Create original folktales with characters
Use the computer to manipulate tans
Technology Integration
We used the
internet to manipulate the tans. Students experimented with
different rotations on the computer. We also used the computer
to type our tangram folktales.
Assessment
Students' writing was evaluated using a rubric. The factors included
writing mechanics, creativity, organization, and originality.
Tips
for Teachers
This unit was well written and creative. I would recommend teachers
check each website before instructing students to go there.
