I need parent vouleenteers to give demonstrations on how to read aloud. Please enter your email address into the link below if you are interested in signing up to come and read aloud to a small group from Ms. Jordan's class. The students love it and because email is the quickest way to reach me, this web 2.0 tool is perfect when coordinating opportunities for parents to help out in our classroom.

Description of lesson: First parent volunteers will come into the classroom to model storytelling for the students. Then the students will watch the power point for guided practice. Finally, for assessment students will story tell a tale of their own making orally. They will have time to practice before they do it themselves.

Assignment (homework or in-class: this is how the learner will pract ice the learning that has just occurred): Students will try telling their own oral story in class or at home. It will all depend on how much time is left in class.

Technology used: The technology used is power point, the internet, a web 2.0 tool, a microphone, and a computer. 

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: The technology in this lesson changes learning by giving students a visual and auditory way to see how storytelling is done in both video format and through use of parent volunteers. It also allows students a chance to see how an expert story tells (with scholastics storytelling device).
