 * Click "Learn" to watch the tutorial on creating a Prezi
 * Click "New Topic" and begin creating a Prezi!
 * //Please Note: These steps will be used to introduce students to the Web 2.0 Tool//
 * Interactive Map Website: http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/maps
 * On this website, students can view an image of their continent. As they zoom in, students will be able to see the different regions of Africa, for example. This website will also allow students to see an image of our world and the seven continents.
 * Media Center Resources

This website will also allow students to navigate between the seven different continents. The students will LOVE how they can view the map in 3D! This website will bring geography to life for second grade students!
 * ** Lesson Plan and Ideas: TPACK **
 * **__ Ninth Grade (2 Days of Instruction, Total Time: 180 Minutes) __**
 * Student Pre - Assessment: Blank Continent Map
 * Students will be asked to label the seven continents and the five bodies of water.
 * Student Post - Assessment: Blank Continent Map
 * Students will be asked to label the seven continents and the five bodies of water following the student presentations.
 * Lesson
 * After introducing the students to PREZI, Deandra and Curtis will explain the assignment to the students. Students will be asked to do the following:
 * Students will be broken down into THREE groups of 3, and FIVE groups of 2. Each group will be assigned a continent to research and explore, and one group will be assigned the 5 bodies of water to research and explore.
 * The students will be responsible for using the resources provided to research their continent or bodies of water. It is important to note that students must complete the research component of the project BEFORE beginning the PREZI presentation.
 * Students will be asked to research specific information regarding each continent. The students will use the teacher created rubric as a guideline for research.
 * Following the research task, the students will be ready to begin creating their PREZI presentation.
 * After creating their PREZI presentation, each student will submit their project to the teacher for review.
 * Each group will present their PREZI to the class. During this time, each student will have FIVE questions to answer for each presentation. It is important to note that EACH group will create their own questions.
 * **__Second Grade (2 Days of Instruction, Total Time: 100 Minutes)__**
 * Student Pre - Assessment
 * Students will complete a Pre - Assessment using the ActivVote devices. The teacher will create five multiple choice questions to assess the students prior knowledge of the seven continents and five bodies of water. It is important to note that the assessment questions will be very basic and simple due to the age of the students.
 * Tree Map: KWL
 * With her students, Elizabeth will find out what the students KNOW about the continents and bodies of water, and what they WANT to learn. Elizabeth will use the information that the students WANT to learn to create the PREZI presentation.
 * Student Post - Assessment
 * Students will be asked to label the seven continents and five bodies of water on a blank map.
 * Tree Map: KWL
 * With her students, Elizabeth will find out what her students LEARNED about the continents and bodies of water.
 * Lesson
 * After introducing the students to PREZI, and why it is being used in the classroom, Elizabeth will explain the lesson objective to the students. Elizabeth will use the PREZI presentation to introduce the students to the seven continents and the five bodies of water. the PREZI presentation will include images of each continent, the name of each continent, and a few, simple FUN facts!
 * ===**Where will the PBI be implemented?**===
 * In our group, we have two high school teachers and one elementary school teacher. Therefore, we will be teaching two different lessons. Deandra and Curtis will be teaching the lesson in Deandra's ninth grade World History Class, and Elizabeth will be teaching the lesson in her second grade classroom.
 * ===**Target Age Group**===
 * Deandra and Curtis: Ninth Grade Students (19 students)
 * Elizabeth: Second Grade Students (21 students)
 * ===**What NCSCOS learning objectives will your PBI address?**===
 * Ninth Grade World History
 * Competency Goal 1, Objective 1.03
 * Relate archaeology, geography, anthropology, political science, sociology, and economics to the study of history.
 * Second Grade Social Studies
 * Competency Goal 5, Objective 5.02
 * Describe the role of a geographer and apply geographic tools, such as maps, globes, compasses and photographs, in the understanding of locations and characteristics of places and regions.
 * === What is your timeline for implementing and completing your PBI? ===
 * Ninth Grade: Deandra and Curtis will complete their lesson by October 31. The lesson will be taught over two days.
 * Second Grade: Elizabeth will complete her lesson by October 31. The lesson will be taught over two days.
 * Following the implementation of the two lessons, we will collaborate as a group to reflect on our lesson and begin drafting our Written Report that is due on November 14. We will also begin to design the video portion of our assignment.
 * === What materials and resources do you need to be successful? ===
 * Teacher Created PowerPoint Presentations that explain PREZI
 * Computer Access
 * In Deandra's classroom, her students will utilize one - on - one laptops in the classroom setting to complete the assignment
 * In Elizabeth's classroom, she will use her main "teacher" computer to create the Prezi.
 * It is important to note that Internet access is also necessary for this project to be successful!
 * FLIP Video Camera
 * A FLIP Video Camera will be used to film the teaching and learning that occurs throughout the implementation of this project.
 * Print and Media Resources
 * Interactive Map Websites
 * Non - Fiction Texts from the Media Center
 * iMovie or Movie Maker Software
