 * Teacher’s Name:** Ms. Kemp **Date of Lesson: 6**
 * Grade Level:** 9 **Topic: Formation of a body Perspective**


 * __ Objectives __**
 * Student will understand that ** matter, energy, force, and motion all play a role in the formation of the universe.
 * Student will know ** ages and origin of main parts of solar system.
 * Student will be able to do ** realize how mass, energy, force, and motion played a role in the formation of the solar system.

** Maine Learning Results: Science and Technology D. The Physical Setting **
 * __ Maine Learning Results Alignment __**
 * D1 Universe and Solar System **
 * Grades 9-Diploma **
 * Students explain the physical formation and changing nature of our universe and solar system, and now our nature of our past and present knowledge of the universe and solar system developed. **


 * Rationale: Students will be writing a story detailing the formation of a celestial body.**

__**Assessment**__
Students will be using a program called comic life to make a comic book story that is simple but incorporates necessary details to the formation of a celestial body. Students will take appropriate steps to ensure that their information is correct.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

Students will be filling out a flow chart to describe the sequence of events that took place in order for the formation to happen. THey will be using this to put together their storyline.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__
Technology: Students will be using the program Comic Life which is a online comic book template in order to put together a story.

Other Content Area: English: Students will be creating a story that flows together and has a plot with characters to enhance the understanding of the formation of a celestial body.

__Groupings__
Students will be working in either pairs or threes for this project according to interest of topic. Along with being in these groups, they will also be in peer editing groups that differ from these and will edit each others stories and give feedback.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__

 * Strategies**
 * Visual:** students will be making a comic book with pictures
 * Intrerpersonal:** Students will be working with others to create comic book
 * Natural:** Students will be thinking of how things in space helped create their celestial body
 * Logical:** Students will be putting together a book, making sure the story makes sense
 * Verbal:** Students will be using their verbal skills to make the story as best as possible
 * Intrapersonal:** Students will be reflecting back on their part in the group process on the rubric at the end

//** I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. **// Absent: Students will need to be in class on time as we are going to be starting learning right away. Since there is a a lot of group work during this unit, students will need to take responsibility for each other and turn to the other students to be caught up on work if they are not able to be present in class. There will be a folder with all of the paperwork that is passed out and will have the students name on it so they can come pick it up as soon as possible. The student will still be responsible for the homework and in class work that they have missed. If extra help is still needed they can come in after school and talk to me. ** Extensions ** Students will be using the internet for most of their packet, viewing websites to gather information as well as do various activities to further their understanding.

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
This project provided a comforting atmosphere in the sense that the students have others to rely on to help out. There is research that needs to be incorperated into the project to make sure all content in story is valid. There is freedom in ways that what happens in the story is completely up to the group, as well as what celestial body will be chosen. Also there is a graphic organizer to keep the story to the point.
 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**
 * Rationale:**

Students will demonstrate their understanding by having a story that shows evidence of knowledge. The story is based around actual facts and nothing has changed from the original science, but rather just putting it in more simple terms as a short story.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**
 * Rationale:**


 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//**
 * Rationale:**
 * Visual:** students will be making a comic book with pictures
 * Intrerpersonal:** Students will be working with others to create comic book
 * Natural:** Students will be thinking of how things in space helped create their celestial body

 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//**
 * Rationale:**
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

Students will be filling out a flow chart to describe the sequence of events that took place in order for the formation to happen. THey will be using this to put together their storyline.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
The classroom will be arranged by tables placed around the room in a U shape. The tables will each have two people at it. The reason for this is because there will be a lot of group work in pairs or fours. Also it is easier to have a central focus point at the opening of the U.

Day 1 Hook (15 minutes) Put groups together and hand out topics (15 minutes) Start research (30 minutes) Break (5 minutes) Hand out story chart and explain (15 minutes) Continue research (40 minutes)

Day 2 Finish research as well as story chart (30 minutes) Put together comic life (90 minutes)

Homework: Finish comic life

 * Where, Why, What, Hook Tailors**

Students will need to know how a particular body formed during time and space (see content notes) and be able to convey that information in a story that will be presented as a comic. Students will be using a graphic organizer to keep their story rolling, and making sure that the sequence of events is correct. The way that I will check for understanding is by giving them feedback on their story lines ensuring that inforamtion is correct, as well as allowing them to edit others stories. ** Students will use their higher order thinking by creating a digital comic book to convey the sequence of events the happened in order to for a celestial body. Students will be able to show how they perceive the formation would happen if it involved different characters. Students will be groups by twos or threes and will determine their roles withing their group. To show evidence of learning, they will need to run their ideas by me in order to be approved. Students will have the opportunity to meet with me as well as have their peers edit their stories. **

Students will have the opportunity to self asses by filling out a rubric upon passing in their comic life as individuals and as a group to reflect on how they think they did. I will provide timely feedback by insuring that I grade their products within a week of them passing them in. This assignment adds to previous lessons by talking about how a body was formed.
