 * Two books: //The Three Little Pigs// by James Marshall and //The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs// by Jon Scieszka
 * Paper
 * Pencil
 * Use of computer to type up final draft

Description of lesson: First, we will read aloud the two books and discuss them. Then, the children will watch the video. Next, I will restate the expectations step by step. Finally, the students will write their piece, go through the drafting process, and type their final draft up in publisher. 

Assignment: After writing their final draft they will get a chance to present their work to each other in class and have a discussion about it. 

Technology used: The technology used for this assignment is another web 2.0 tool to make this video and the students making their final draft of this assignment on the computer using the program publisher. 

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: Technology quickly relays what I want to say and gives it to the students in a meaningful content. It also allows students to polish their work into a nice looking final product. I will probably have them use the program publisher to type up their final assignments as they have not used it in class before.
