Storyboard and TPACK Info.



The content I will be using for my story board will come from the Utah State Core for Literacy. In third grade Standard 5 Objective 2a: Read aloud grade level text in meaningful phrases using intonation, expression, and punctuation cues. I have chosen Mother Goose rhymes for the content because they are well known. Also, the rhymes flow easily for beginning readers. The text is also predictable and fun and engaging.

The pedagogy this lesson uses includes modeling. As the students will watch the presentation, they will hear the words to the rhymes as they look at the pictures. I will model how to use my voice to make the phrases of the rhymes more meaningful by using expression, intonation, and punctuation cues. Then the students can practice reading the same poems they have heard. This is also a form of scaffolding to help the students understand the concepts behind punctuation. Children must have examples set before them to be able to do something on their own.

The technology used for this lesson would be Photo Story 3. The students would watch the movie clip of the nursery rhymes and the modeled readings. As the students practice, they would be able to return again and again to the video to catch things they may have missed. For this reason, the technology of Photo Story would be a great fit with the pedagogy I am using because the students would be able to listen to a consistent voice pattern as they review the rhymes. The Photo Story technology is great because as the students are hearing the words to the rhymes, they are also seeing a visual to connect with each rhyme. It is possible to have music playing in the background as well to add to the aesthetic nature of the project.
