content.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.9-10.5
Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive
elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to
add interest

Lesson Objectives:
-After a book discussion, the student will determine key components of the text, citing evidence
to support the claims with 90% accuracy.
-After a book discussion, the student will write an informative script about The Hunger Games
that contains the theme, main idea, characters, setting, and mood with 90% accuracy.
-After completing a script, the student will use a digital media tool to create a video explaining

The student do not enjoy reading aloud, but does well when he reads quietly to himself. He
enjoys active, hands on activities that are engaging and fun.

A. The Lesson

1. Introduction (5 min)
-Show student example of animation made on Powtoon from the website.
-Yesterday we finished The Hunger Games book. Today we are going to take the
information from the book and create an amination about the important components of
the novel. You are going to write a script about the book and create animations using
Powtoon like the ones we watched.

2. Content Delivery (45 min)

- Instruct the student to get his computer out and begin a script of what he is going to say.
- Guide the student through the process, asking questions about organization (what
information should come first, middle last), the characters, the setting, theme, mood, and
conflicts.
- Once the student completes a basic script/plan of what he is going to animate and say, log
into the Powtoon website and begin animating.
- Tell the student to practice making a few slides/animations with recording to get used to
the site.
- Guide and assist the student through the animation and recording.

3. Closure (7 min)
- View the completed video
- Discuss the components of the book/video and their importance in the book
- Complete exit ticket (how does the setting of the book connect to the theme of the book?)

B. Assessments Used: Formative/summative

- The student will be assessed through observations during the discussion, script writing,
and animation steps.
- He will be graded on how well he explains the key components of the story and the evidence
that he finds in the text.
- The students completed animation will act as a summative assessment for the unit.
C. Differentiated Instruction
- The student will have one on one instruction. He will be able to use his book, worksheets
for the unit, and discussion to complete the task. If needed, he can have extra time to
complete the assignment. The student can ask questions and receive help if needed.
