 Evidence 1:Finalized Biome Unit Plan 

 Rationale 1: The unit plan was developed for seventh grade science class. The different lesson plans incorporating the use of iPod Touches gives students the opportunities to use numerous types of technology to increase the understanding of biomes. Through the development of this unit plan, I had to be familiar with all the different ways that students could explore biomes. Student will accomplish these outcomes: the students will learn and explore the 8 different biomes that are found on Earth, students will create and edit a podcast using Audacity to tell about one of the biomes, students will listen to a classmates podcast and make guesses based on the information given by classmates, students will create one of the eight biomes using Photostory 3, students will give information based on the information learned through the video tours using Google Earth app, and the students will orally record, edit, and upload biome podcasts.

 KSD // When creating this unit plan, I developed different ways for students to learn about the biomes of the Earth as well as meet the technology standards required of middle school students. to learn about biomes. // // Throughout this unit plan, I have addressed a variety of learning styles and give students the ability to complete a variety of different assessments. // // Throughout the unit plan, students were able to move on once they completed an assignment or if they needed to work on the next part, they were able to do this. //
