Google Tools (Blog 10 Makeup)

I plan to integrate Google Docs and Google Presentations into another technofied lesson plan in this blog post. The lesson is intended for middle school-aged English students. The lesson will ask students to collaborate on a pre-made Google Doc worksheet in order to answer questions to the beloved and famous novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. The students will work in groups of two or three to read the chapters at home and then answer the questions on a Google Document. The intention of having students do this over the internet is so that they can answer question as they read at home and not have to wait to manually fill out worksheets in class the next day. The next step is for students to identify an aspect of symbolism in Lee's novel and create a collaborative presentation using Google Presentations to prepare for the class. Using both Google Docs and Google Presentations allows for students to more effectively execute group projects from places outside of the classroom. 

Here is an example of the Google Document that will be used in this lesson: (Study questions borrowed from Sparknotes.com)
