CLASS: Intervention History – 13 students
TIME: 60 minutes
LOCATION: Meet in the classroom for
instruction and closure. Meet in the
computer lab for computer and internet
access.
PURPOSE: students will use the hot-sheets they create to provide quick
reference to pre-established sites about the Civil War.
SUPPLIES: Pen, Paper, Handout (Steps to creating a hot sheet.
PROCEEDURE: Before class have handouts created. Have a computer turned on with a hot sheet
ready for use and a visual. Also, have
the Internet turned on. Minimize the
hot sheet and the Internet.
In
the classroom, introduce the lesson to the class.
Review rules and guidelines for using the
Internet such as: How to be direct with
your request to a search engine, monitor yourself and use your time wisely so
you do not get lost in the web.
Review
how to use Microsoft Word to create a document, copy/paste, and how to
save your document to a disk.
Review
the specific topics that they will be researching and what their purpose will
be in the lab today.
Introduce
the Hot Sheet
Show
students a Hot Sheet that you have already created. Inform students that this is a document to store Internet sites.
Demonstrate
that by clicking on one of the URL addresses you have direct assess to your
sites.
Inform
students that today they will be required to find a minimum of 5 sites related
to their topic and make their own Hot Sheet.
Explain
how to copy/paste the URL Address onto a word document. Demonstrate by copy/pasting the site you
already have open from earlier demonstration.
Demonstrate
also how to include notes about the site beneath the address.
Pass
out handouts and go to the lab.
Students are to open a word document and
minimize it.
Then
they are to get on the Internet, use a search engine and find sites related to
their topic.
When
they find a site they are to raise their hand and begin looking at the
information
When
all students have a site, then walk all students through the following steps.
Highlight the URI Address
Go to edit and then copy
Maximize word document
Click on the page
Then go to edit and then paste
Push enter
When the URL Address becomes blue it is a hyperlink
Have students click on their new address to try it
out
Close this site
Now try one on your own.
Instruct students to print a copy of their hot sheet
with 5 sites then save it on then disk.
EVALUATION:
1.
After observing how to create a hot sheet students will be able to successfully
create a hot sheet of related websites using a handout for guidance.
2.
Students will print out a copy of their hot sheet for verification.
3.

Report
on lesson.
Students
listened and observed in the classroom.
When we got to the lab however, they were very eager to try out their
new skills. This led to some chaos at
the beginning. I called for their
attention and then began a step by step for opening a new word document then
minimize it. We then went out on the
net. Students once again tried to move
ahead. It was difficult to keep some
waiting while others continued to search for their first site.
I
ended up teaching the steps to groups of three or four at a time. Soon I had students helping other students.
All
students were able to complete their assignment of creating a hot sheet,
printing it out and saving it to a disk.
It
was amazing to see my structured plan begin to break apart and then be rescued
by student empowering themselves. I
would say the lesson was successful for all
