Multimedia Lesson Plan 5-D-1
[Group Wiki] In your small group, develop a lesson plan which integrates at least one of the following multimedia Web publishing tools: Your plan may include students responding to works created by you (the teacher) or others, or you may outline how students will create and share their own multimedia works. Resources are available in Key Information of Module 5 to provide ideas. Be sure to include an objective explaining what you expect your students to accomplish using these tools. If you plan to use any specific online resources (such as a podcast to which your students will respond), please provide links to those resources. Please identify the grade(s) and subject(s) for your lesson plan. Create your lesson plan on a new page in your group wiki. Use the discussion area of the wiki to collaborate with your group.

Target Student Group
9th grade Spanish

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lesson, students will...
 * have utilized technology software to create a podcast about an aspect of Hispanic culture.
 * researched their topic
 * taken notes
 * organized important information
 * composed a script
 * recorded their voice using appropriate tone, volume, pace, and expression

Materials

 * teacher-created podcast about an aspect of Hispanic culture
 * student handout explaining the assignment
 * grading rubric
 * topic list
 * textbook, nonfiction books that relate to topics
 * computers and recording software

Procedure

 * Play a model podcast (created by the teacher) so that students know their end goal. Demonstrate how to use podcasting software.
 * Distribute the assignment explanation sheet. Read the directions with students and answer any questions they may have about this assignment.
 * Students will be allowed to work independently or with a partner. Randomly select students to choose their topic from the topic list below. Topics will focus on an aspect of either Cinco de Mayo or Day of the Dead. Students will research and discuss in Spanish on their podcast. Once a topic has been selected, allow students to begin researching their topic using the textbook, non-fiction books, or computers. Circulate and guide as needed.
 * Once accurate information has been located, students need to compile that into their "script." The script must be approved by the teacher before recording takes place.
 * Students will be allowed to record their podcasts using the computers and external microphones (to reduce background noise). Final podcasts will be uploaded to the class wikipage.

Topics for the podcast

 * Choose a food commonly consumed on Day of the Dead or Cinco de Mayo
 * Explain the historical facts about the Battle of Puebla.
 * Explain the significance Day of the Dead from a Mexican perspective
 * Interview a native Mexican person about their celebration of Day of the Dead.
 * Explain the personal significance of Cinco de Mayo to a Mexican person. What does it mean to them?
