Modifications
|
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.
