=__Overview**:** __ = = In this lesson students will learn about the differences of primary and secondary sources. On Monday they will learn about primary and secondary sources through a concept web I created for each type of source using Kidspiration. The students will then complete their own concept web on primary/secondary sources using Kidspiration in the media center. Then on Tuesday they will fill out the KW part of a KWL Chart on Alexander Graham Bell. After the students finish that, they will watch a You Tube video about the invention of the telephone to introduce them to Alexander Graham Bell on the classroom projector, and then be given a handout with an excerpt of Catherine Mackenzie’s book-pages six to nine. On Wednesday, the students will watch another You Tube video, but this time on their own. They will then complete an online scavenger hunt on Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of the telephone to find primary and secondary sources. To do this activity the students will be using Google Kids . They were previously given the handouts, but you can find it on Microsoft Word named-[|The Telephone.docx], if you need additional copies. On Thursday they will complete the L part of their KWL Charts. They will also be asked to finish any questions they may have left over from the scavenger hunt on Wednesday. On Thursday they will also be creating their own telephones and answering questions as a fun activity. Then on Friday we will have review with a few interactive quizzes, followed by a discussion for any last minute questions, and then the Quiz will be given. The quiz in located here if you need additional copies, but I have 35 copies already printed (located in my desk). =

They will also have to demonstrate understanding when they are asked certain questions on the scavenger hunt (Ex. Find a quote said by Bell…Is this a primary or secondary source?). They will comprehend the facts and dates about Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone by explaining their findings on the scavenger hunt. The students will apply this knowledge of primary/secondary sources when they are filling out their scavenger hunts and completing the concept web. They will also show their understanding of the material when they are assessed and evaluated using a quiz on Friday, in additional to two practice quizzes. =

The students will need computers to create their own concept web with their own examples of what a primary and secondary source is on Monday (each computer already has the Kidspiration software downloaded on it); they will also need the internet(Google kids, preferably) to complete this activity. On Tuesday they will also need computers to fill in their KWL Charts. They will also need a copy of the excerpt of a book about Alexander Graham Bell (copies are in my desk). On Wednesday, the students will need access to the computers since they will be working on their scavenger hunts about Bell; they will need access to Google Kids on these days as well and the scavenger handout (which they have previously received). Also on Wednesday they students will need access to YouTube to watch a video. On Thursday, they will need their scavenger hunts/computers if they did not finish on Wednesday (they will also need their KWL Charts so they can finish filling in the L section). Also on Thursday the students will need two tin cans for each pair (a total of 30 cans with a single hole punched in the bottom) and 15 pieces of 3 foot long string. All of this material needs to be cut and hole punched before the students need them. The directions for the activity can be found here. >> . The students do not need a copy, because they will be asked to open this file. On Friday they will need the computers to take the practice quizzes and a copy of the actual Quiz (located in the top drawer of my desk). =

Then students create their own webs using the same program. ** =

Watch a small video as a class. Then read a passage as a group from a book about Alexander Graham Bell.

Then complete a scavenger hunt about Alexander Graham Bell/telephone and Primary/secondary sources.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Day 4: Students will fill out the L part to the KWL Chart. Any questions left over from the scavenger hunt should be completed today. The students will be making their own telephones and answering questions.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">Day 5: The students will be taking two practices quizzes to prepare them for the quiz (one on Primary/Secondary sources and the other on Alexander Graham Bell/invention of the telephone). Then they will have a class discussion and be given the quiz.

This quiz has multiple choice questions similar to those that the students completed on the scavenger hunt. But, the assessment did not start with the quiz; the students’ assessment began when they were asked to create their own concept web about primary/secondary sources and came up with their own version of the definition/examples. The assessment was carried out further when the students completed an interactive activity by doing an information scavenger hunt online and filling out their own KWL Charts. =
