I'm a special Ed major and since that doesn't have any standards, I'm going to use 2nd Grade Language Arts.

3 0201.3.3 Brainstorm ideas with teachers and peers, use graphic organizers (e.g., webs,

charts, Venn diagrams) independently and/or in group, and use a variety of resources to

gather information.

2nd Grade: One Missing Rabbit.

Materials: Description: I will read the story out loud to the kids. When finished, I will tell them we need to write a letter to Coco (the rabbit in the story that the kids in the end of the story write letters to). We will start by brainstorming on the Interactive whiteboard things they might want to say or ask Coco. When we have plenty of ideas we will right a rough draft on the whiteboard. I will be writing and the whole group will be deciding what to write. I will make some mistakes on the rough draft so they can catch them. When we write the final draft we can save it on the whiteboard. Scaffolds: They write a prompt together as a group so that next time they will understand how to do it on their own
 * "One Missing Rabbit" Story
 * Large Poster paper
 * Interactive Whiteboard

Technology: WE use the interactive whiteboard to be able to use only it in place of paper or multiple dry erase boards. It gives us many writing tools in order to help the students write their story.
