Module+8+--+Integration+Plan

I feel as though my integration plan shows that to the fullest extent as I have altered a project that I've used in the past to great success. Lois Lowry wrote a wonderful novel called The Giver which is set in a dystopian alternate society. Students find the culture restrictive and bizarre. Indeed, many of the events are dark and even downright disturbing. It is from this point that I give them the opportunity to create their own societies, ones that are shaped as they see fit, ones where they are the kings and queens and presidents. What technology will do here is allow for more free collaboration between groups via wikis and VoiceThreads. Likewise, it allows students to compose everything online which conveniently will replace the multitude of folders and dog-eared papers in the back of my classroom. Resources like Google Earth will allow students to explore other nations around the world which will given them insight toward creation of the own nations.
