TPCK's connection to "Boa Constrictor"

* What is the content you’ll be using in your lesson?
In this lesson, the content being taught come from the 3rd Grade Language Arts Standard 1, Objective 2, which says: Develop language by viewing media and presenting. By viewing this media presentation (digital story) of Shel Silverstein's "Boa Constrictor", the students will learn of the possibilities that exist with expressing poetry using technology and media sources.
* What is the pedagogy you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content?
The pedagogy being used fits right in with the content, because through using Shel Silverstein's poem, they will have been taught how to visually interpret poetry in their own way. After making an interpretation of poems, which will help them in developing their language, they will be required to make their own storyboards. As they do this, they'll be guided by the teacher's written instructions that will help them in their own presentations step by step.
* What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the
content and pedagogy?
The technology that will be used is Photostory software, where they will bring their interpretations of poems/stories to life with added music, and their own voice recordings for the narration. These things put together with their drawings that represent their chosen poems/stories will be a good representation of their learning about how to present media. In the process of doing all of this, they will have some guidance from the teacher, but will also be helping each other towards making the same end product in their groups.
