Special Needs- Give one-on-one attention, show/aid in finding specific information, help with printing and reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed.
Materials:- Computer- Printer- CD with Trumpeter Swan PowerPoint burned onto it (attached to the back)- legal paper brochure (attached to the back)- markers- scissors- glue sticks- Trumpet of the Swans by E. B. White
Procedures:1. Group students together around the computer. Explain PowerPoint and the activity they
will be completing. 2. Have students take turns reading the information from the PowerPoint. Explain any
terms that may not be familiar to the students as the PowerPoint progresses. Give demonstrations along with visuals to explain any unknown information (example: diameter of the nest, wing span, height of bird, etc.).
3. After the Trumpeter Swan information has been covered, explain the reference page and how the websites work. Have students click on the first website, explore, and learn how to print a picture. Do the same with the other two sites.
4. Once everyone has had the opportunity to print a picture for the brochure, then pass out the legal paper brochures. Explain to students what the brochure must contain. Be sure students know/understand to use the PowerPoint presentation to complete their brochure.
5. Students will explore three different websites on Trumpeter Swans; they must have one fact from the internet. Explain that they have the choice to pick from one of the three websites. Some of their additional information may come from these sites as well.
6. When students complete the brochures and they have been graded, place in the hallway for others to read and enjoy. Many will learn information they never knew!
