2 Lesson plans from Google

Lesson Plan 1
Language Arts 10-12
The students in the classroom will write a news letter about the classroom. The purpose of this assignment will teach the students how to write for content and address an audience. The students will "play" the role of editor and decide which part of their content is appropriate for their audience. They will publish their "stories" on Google docs. This allows the student to both learn written and web abilities while becoming comfortable in front of groups using net related terms and instructions. They will need to become fluent in valuable information using the web.

Lesson Plan 2
Social Studies 10-12
Students will combine efforts to make a classroom page entitled "Stories of America" . Students will choose a significant time period, person, etc. and (to adjust the assignment to fit to English) will choose between two options: A mock newsletter addressing the chosen topic and reporting it back to the class or an original creative/ persuasive narrative about the chosen topic and place a link on Google Docs to allow those in the class to view the works.
