Procedures
1. First students will be informed of the purpose of the lesson. (2:45-2:50)

The purpose of this lesson is to understand through a reputable Internet resource what impact the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918-1919 had in U.S. as well as world history. In the lesson, students will conduct research and collaboratively create a Web 2.0 resource for this topic.

2. Introduction of [|VoiceThread]



VoiceThread is a Web 2.0 tool, multimedia platform that can be used to assimilate images, video, etc. and then annotate these components with voice, text, or video. You do need an account to set up a VoiceThread but multiple students/people can interact with your content.

3. Introduction to the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918-1919 through VoiceThread. (2:50-3:00) [] **{Collaboration, Scaffolding 1, Classroom Talk, Questioning}**

4. We will divide into groups and each group will be given a short historical passage to read and discuss.(3:00-3:15) Your group must focus on the important points and develop two short statements about the image that represents your research. Make sure to write down your statements. **{Collaboration, Writing to Learn, Scaffolding 2, Classroom Talk, Questioning, Literacy Groups}**

You will record these statements onto the collaborative VoiceThread. (3:15-3:30) Statements should not exceed 20-30 seconds. Each team must condence their time at the "mic" or VoiceThread to a total of 1 minute. When recording, you will choose an avatar- and then record. Be creative- change your voice, act in character, pretend you are a reporter on the scene, act out a person's perspective (making sure it is true to the facts), etc.

You can type your thoughts into the VoiceThread. You can use video to record your thoughts in the VoiceThread. You can use audio only to record your thoughts into the VoiceThread.

5. We will finish by analyzing our collaborative project in VoiceThread. We will determine if we need to make alterations and if the main points have been clearly established in the multimedia presentation. (3:30-3:45) **{Collaboration, Classroom Talk, Questioning}**

6. Our Final Product will be embeded here:

7. NOTE- WHILE STUDENTS ARE WAITING FOR OTHER GROUPS TO RECORD- A FACILITATOR WOULD NORMALLY HAVE THEM WORKING ON AN EXTENSION PRODUCT. IN THIS CASE, WE WOULD LIKE EVERY ONE TO "TAKE" **BOTH** OF THE TWO FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED FROM EACH SCHOOL FOR THE PRE-PD. NO PRESSURE.

AFTER TAKING THE ASSESSMENTS-PLEASE REPLY TO THE DISCUSSION QUESTION.
