Project #14: Project Based Learning Plan #2

For this lesson, I created a project called Poem Cartoons. This lesson plan addresses the Alabama English and Language Arts State Standards for third grade. This project is to be completed in a two week time frame giving the students about a week and a half to create and three days to present. The students will be split into groups of four and each group will be give a poem by Shel Silverstein. They will read, discuss, and brainstorm ideas in their groups of how they want their cartoon to look. Using Creaza, they will create a cartoon or comic strip illustrating their groups poem. At the end of the week each group will read their poem and present their groups cartoon to the class. This project will allow the students to be as creative and open-minded as they want because there is no right or wrong answer.
