This document provides a lesson plan for teaching 18 fourth grade students about the Amazon Rainforest. It outlines that there are 10 male and 8 female students, 13 are white and 5 are African American. The lesson goals are for students to locate the Amazon Rainforest on a map with 90% accuracy and describe what it looks like with 85% accuracy after learning activities including a virtual tour, video, and poster. Materials used include a QR code for the tour, introductory video, map poster, and YouTube video. Students will take the virtual tour, discuss the rainforest, and locate it on individual maps without assistance. Their understanding will be evaluated based on participation, worksheet completion, and the teacher's assessment of learning goals.

- 1. Monday A-There are 18 fourth grade students. ï‚›10 students are male and 8 are female. ï‚›13 of the students are white and 5 are African-American. S- The fourth grade students will locate where the Amazon Rainforest is on a map with 90% accuracy by the end of the lesson after viewing and discussing the poster about the Amazon on the map. The students will be able to describe with 85% accuracy what the Amazon Rainforest looks like after going on a virtual tour and watching a video on the Amazon. S- Materials used will be a QR code that leads to a virtual tour of the Amazon, a Voki introducing the Amazon Rainforest, and a poster depicting where the Amazon is on a map, as well as a blank map of the world. A YouTube video all about the Amazon. U- After seeing the Voki, students will scan the QR code and go on the virtual tour of the Amazon Rainforest. The poster will be shown to the students and hung on the classroom wall. Students will receive the blank map that they will have to fill in. Students will view Youtube video. R- Each student must go on the virtual tour and explore the rainforest. Students must engage in a conversation facilitated by the instructor about where the rainforest is and what it looks like. Each student must locate and color in where the Amazon Rainforest is without the use of the poster.
- 2. E- Students will be evaluated on how much they contributed to the conversation about the rainforest and if they actively participated in the virtual tour. To evaluate whether or not students are aware of where the rainforest is, I will view their work sheet. After the completion of the lesson, I will determine if I need to add to the technology used or if I need to remove a specific item.
