Description of lesson: This lesson forces the students to really summmerize what happened in the book because it only gives them three slides to do so. The students will hear the story read aloud while told to be listening to the main points/summery. Finally, students will demonstrate their knowledge of the story by making a cartoon strip summery of it. 

Assignment: As homework the students will also write up the standard five sentence paragraph summarizing a different story. 

Technology used: Internet, ToonDoo application, access to a wiki. 

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: This application accommodates students who may think visually rather than through words. It also allows students to be creative and brings a sequence to the slides that you wouldn't see if writing a paragraph summery.
