Description of lesson

Student clocks will be handed out to the students. The teacher will then explain that she will be reading the story "The Grouchy Ladybug" and as a time is mentioned the students should indicate the appropriate time on their clocks. The students will be instructed to put their clocks in their air once they are completed to indicate who is done. As the students are done doing this, the teacher will put the appropriate time on the model clock so the students can check to see if their clock was correct.

Assignment (homework or in-class):

Once the book is completed the children will return to their desk and draw a picture of the grouchy ladybug meeting a new friend. In the picture the student needs to include the time that they met the new friend. They will show this in the picture in two ways: one by writing the time and second by showing what time of day it is in the picture. For example if the friends meet at 5:00 pm the sun will be lower in the picture.

The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way:

Using the websites as a learning tool is almost like a game to the students. They are more engaged in the learning process. They can also use this tool at home and they do not have to have paper or a clock of their own to practice reading the clock
