1 Collaborative Group Lesson or Unit Bianca Silva American College of Education CI5423 - Community of Learners Therese Kanai January 28, 2023

2 Collaborative Group Lesson or Unit In the last application, we were asked to create a lesson plan that we felt reflected student-centered practices that related and reflected meaningful standards. In this lesson, there was a major focus on collaborative group work. Cooperative and collaborative learning are such important processes of meaningful teaching. It really does generate Student Success when students are able to collaborate as often as possible. With that being said, the collaboration does have to be meaningful and intentional. Both cooperative and Collaborative Learning do serve their purposes in education, but Collaborative Learning can be seen throughout this lesson. This lesson focuses on a creative storytelling process within groups that does include revision within groups as well. This is a creative based writing lesson and a collaborative based writing lesson. Grade level: 7th grade Subject(s): Writing Standard(s): Content, Skill, Character, Arts (Standards integration across subjects is not required as it was in week two, but it is acceptable and often desirable or helpful.) CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.7.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. The content for this lesson centers around collaborative creative storytelling. Students will work on skills like creative story writing, collaborative writing, collaborative revision, and group discussion. Objectives: (Include all objectives that will be assessed in this collaborative learning experience. Write objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy verbs. (See Resources, Webliography.) Students will be able to partake in collaborative storytelling. Students will be able to engage in group discussions. Students will be able to articulate and deliver constructive feedback. Summary of Collaborative Group Lesson with emphasis on aspects of student control: A small summary of this lesson begins with the initial explanation to students that they will be working collaboratively to respond to the prompt “Imagine that you find a key. Not

3 Grade level: 7th grade an ordinary key- a key that when used to unlock any door took you to wherever you most wanted to go”. Once students have had time to examine the prompt, they will then be broken up into groups of three to four. I chose only groups of three to four because as mentioned in What Works? is how, “Groups that are too large risk becoming incoherent and dysfunctional” (Drake, 2010, pg. 3). Students will be given five minutes to collaborate and come up with their story idea and then 20 minutes to collectively write their story. After the 20 minutes students will swap stories with different groups. These groups will provide revision and suggestion changes for the story they have been given. At the end there will be A vote on who created the best story and a reflection on how collaborative writing can lead to wonderful writing pieces. Assessment: (How will student learning be assessed? What criteria or rubric will be used to evaluate the collaborative learning experience?) Learning will be assessed in three parts. One part is based on discussion and as a teacher being able to walk around and listen to the collaboration that is happening. part 2 would be the grading of the writing itself. I would want to see what students actually came up with. The criteria for evaluating the actual writing is less about how well written it is as compared to we're all students able to get a piece of themselves into the writing process. The final piece of assessment would be to see what revisions were given per piece. I would want to ensure that students are leaving meaningful revision suggestions rather than just things like adding a comma and or just saying it was good. Learning Environment: (Briefly describe where the learning will take place and how students will interact with others.) The learning environment in which this lesson will take place will mainly be within the classroom. It will begin with me directly teaching and setting expectations. It will then mainly consist of students working within groups scattered across the room and they're Collaborative Learning spaces. Because this is

4 Grade level: 7th grade a collaborative lesson, students would be encouraged to be passionate and converse with each other for the entire class. Even when they are working on their revisions with their group members, there should still be active discussion happening. Student Materials: The main student materials needed for this lesson is the prompt up at the board for reference, the Google Doc that students can work on collaboratively at the same time with their group members because it has been pre shared with them, and sentence starters for both the prompt and the revision part of the activity that are available both on the screen and posted in our Google classroom. Time Frame: The explanation of the importance of collaborative writing and storytelling will take about five minutes. then the explanation of what students will be doing will take another five. The writing process will take 25 minutes, with the included five minutes of preparation before they actually begin writing. The revision process will take 10 minutes. There will be another five minutes at the end of the period for whole class discussion and voting. Step-by-Step Procedure: (Provide all information necessary for another teacher to replicate your collaborative group learning experience.) To begin, display the Google slideshow beginning with the title slide “ collaborative creative storytelling”. go to the next slide that explains the importance of Storytelling. go to the next slide that explains the importance of collaborative writing. Then, go to the slide that explains what students will be actively working on today. next display the slide that has the actual prompt and sentence starter ideas. break students off into groups and set the timer for the first five minutes for them to create an idea for their writing. After the five minutes is up, explain now it is time to take the next 20 minutes to write the actual story. begin the next timer for 20 minutes. While
