Whole class with one computer.

__Description__: During this lesson, the students will be using the library book that they got to fill out a worksheet about title pages and the table of contents. Before they start on the worksheet we are going to talk about a book together. I am going to put up the title page and table of contents on the doc camera device to show them where to find the information in their books that they will need for their worksheets. With the pen for the interactive white board I am going to circle or underline exactly what I’m talking about to give them a visual of what they are actually looking for.

__Materials__:
 * Individual books for the students of their choice.
 * worksheet, made by the teacher with questions about the title page and table of contents
 * Students will need a pencil
 * Teacher will need a book to show to the class
 * A doc camera
 * Interactive white board
 * Computer

__Before Class Preparation__: The way I will prepare my technology is I will come a bit early to school and make sure all the things that I need are working. I will check to see if all students have a library book that has a table of contents, and if they don’t I will have books ready that do. For the special needs student I will have them type out their answers on a computer if they have problems writing. Also, I will have the pages in the book that they will need to use tabbed incase they don’t know where to find the information.

__During Instruction__: During the lesson I will need to watch for students that are having trouble so a classmate or I can help them with the problem they are having. If all students are having trouble then we will do it together as a whole class. While I am showing them what to do while I’m using the white board and am going to tell them that they cannot have anything on their desk and they must not be talking while I am.

__Back Up Plan__: If the technology does not work while in class, I will draw on a white board what I am talking about the best I can. If I do that then hopefully they will get the gist of what they should be doing. If the technology doesn’t work then we will probably do the lesson together as an entire class.
