Daily Lesson GAME Plan-Digital Storytelling
 * Lesson Title: **Making Carbon Dioxide **Related Lessons:** Follows Matter Chapter
 * Grade Level: **Elementary/Middle **Unit:** Matter (Chemistry)

**//GOALS //** **//ACTION //** **//During Class //** Multiple times each student will take turns creating carbon dioxides, this way each student will have had the experience and will understand the concept of chemical properties bonding with each other to form new properties. Music will be selected for the background of the video as the premise is that of a silent film. Storyline cards will need to be created explaining each step in as little words as possible (Students could use the signs for each property used and then the final card could have CO2 for carbon dioxide). Each student will have a turn in holding a storyline card while video; this includes the student that is videoing the presentation. Once all experiments have been completed by students, including storyline cards, musical selection complete, and it has been rehearsed numerous times, it is time to film. Teacher will have final say on the video that is uploaded to [|www.youtube.com] and [|www.teachertube.com]. The final video presented should be no more than five minutes in length. **//MONITOR //** **//EVALUATION //**  include component="comments" page="Shelby's Lesson Plan-Digital Storytelling" limit="10"
 * Content Standards: **
 * 1) Information systems. Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information using appropriate technologies.
 * 2) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science.
 * 3) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
 * 4) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Interconnectedness: Common theme. Students will understand the relationships and common themes that connect mathematics, science, and technology and apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.
 * 5) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Interdisciplinary problem solving. Students will apply the knowledge and thinking skills of mathematics, science, and technology to address real-life problems and make informed decisions.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">ISTE NETS-S **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Creativity and innovation
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Digital citizenship
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Technology operations and concepts
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Instructional Objective(s): **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create carbon dioxide with the help of oxygen, vinegar, and baking soda. The will learn through the demonstration that chemical properties combine and form new properties as a direct result. The final outcome will be presented in the form of a silent video and shared on a social networking site.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Before-Class Preparation: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will have previously read the chapter on chemical properties (starting on page C78) in content text. Students will collect the necessary materials (vinegar, plastic bottle, balloons, and baking soda). Students will also require a video camera, large black markers, large white sheets of construction paper, music for video background, and lined paper for notes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Time: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Class period of three days (1/2 hour each day). This is paced by the student, with teacher monitoring, however the activity should be completed at the end of day three.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Instructional Activity: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will spend the first class day deciding on everyone’s jobs and who will be responsible for material collection and organization. The video presentation will be mapped out by students in a scene by scene case, drawn on a piece of white construction paper. Any changes necessary will be decided as whole group. Each student will also take turns using the video camera by recording each other and items in the classroom. The student with the steady hand will be the person to record.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Notes: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will come to understand that this is group project and all decisions are made by the group, not one individual.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ongoing Assessment: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be observed throughout the process to make sure that an understanding of digital storytelling is understood as well the process of combining two chemical properties to create a new property.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Accommodations and Extensions: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students in grades 5-8 should encounter minor problems; teacher will provide any assistance that may be needed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Back-up Plan: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Unfortunately there is no back-up plan for this as the internet and electricity is required. Students could draw out the experiment if necessary but it would lose the appeal of being told in digital format.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Lesson Reflections and Notes: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will have a wonderful time creating a project that can be shared with the world. I am looking forward to the feedback received from others in regards to their efforts.
