Resource to Lesson Plan - Capstone Project Option D
Overview
This resource is developed as a template for Library Media Specialist and Dual Enrollment Teachers to collaboratively choose, evaluate and develop a resource set. Template updates and content are authored by Jessica Bogle in accordance with the culminating Capstone Project for Cohort 2024.
Identifying and Evaluating a Resource
Although this set of four images ranks high on both OER rubrics, classroom teachers can expand on this collection by accessing the Digital Public Library of America personally.
This section of the template supports Library Media Specialists and Classroom Teachers in aligning and evaluating curated resources.
Instructions:
Use OER primary source materials from the Digital Public Library of America to collaboratively choose, evaluate and develop a resource set.
1. Notes on alignment of the resource:
- When you aligned the resource, was it fully aligned to the standard or partially?
- In a lesson plan designed around LDOE Standard: RL.11-12.9, the following visual images are considered primary resources and found via Digital Public Library of America. These images could align with a unit on The Great Gatsby since the anchor text and the attached images are all from the same time period. These images from 1920, 1925, 1929, and 1930 are all historical relevant to the anchor text.
- What additional notes do you have about alignment to the standard?
- The standard states: "Demonstrate knowledge of foundational works of U.S. and world literature, including how two or more texts from the same period treat similar themes and topics." Students can analyze and decipher how primary-sourced materials, such as these four images, enhance the theme(s) of The Great Gatsby.
2. Notes on evaluation criteria:
- When you evaluated the resource using the Achieve OER Rubric, why did you choose the indicator that you chose?
- I chose that the Achieve OER Rubric scored the images a comprehensive 2.5, which means the resources are Strong to Superior. The images align to the anchor text content, explain and explore themes, are of excellent quality, include opportunities for deeper learning, and provide an assurance of accessibility.
- What other evaluation criteria did you mentally note when you reviewed the resource that is not included on this rubric?
- Using the (Sample) Checklist for Evaluating OER, I also considered how culturally relevant and sensitive the resources are to the background and demographic of my students. A connection I was able to make includes a rap song by Rod Wave that is popular among my students, and the topic/central idea of the lyrics is based on The Great Gatsby. Students can use primary-sourced materials to deepen their understanding of the novel and further understand/analyze modern-day music.
Supporting and Expanding the Resource(s) for Teachers
This section of the template supports Library Media Specialists and Classroom Teachers in supporting and expanding the curated resources. The resources below should help teachers prepare for the lesson.
1. What additional background knowledge and resources might be needed to support the teacher?
- Please share 1-2 additional teacher-facing resources that will help the teacher better understand and use this resource set. These might be videos, readings or pedagogical strategies.
- Teachers can also reference the 1974 and 2013 cinematic adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Attached are images from the Digital Public Library of America regarding both films. Films of a literary text connect to the following LDOE Standard: RL.11-12.7. The standard states: "Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g., recorded or live production of a play or recorded novel or poetry), evaluating how each version interprets the source text." Teachers can support their students understanding of the primary-sourced visual images in this resource set by playing clips of the film(s) that showcase the themes present in the novel, the primary-sourced visual images, and contemporary films.
Supporting and Expanding the Resource(s) for Students
This section of the template supports Library Media Specialists and Classroom Teachers in supporting and expanding the curated resources. The resources below should help teachers develop resources for students to sucessfully explore the resources and meet learning targets.
1. What additional resources might be needed to support students?
- Please share 1-2 additional student-facing resources that will help the student better understand and use this resource set. These might be student handouts, rubrics or supporting videos/readings.
- Students can better understand this resource set of primary-sourced images by connecting an audio medium from their generation to the themes present in the attached song (and lyrics).
