Pedagogy Planning
Activity Students will create a poster for a book they read.
On their posters, they should include the different
parts of the book. This includes characters,
summarizing the plot, setting, the conflict, the
resolution, and the theme. They should ask include
their own thoughts, for example, predictions,
asking questions about what they read, and
drawing conclusions about the book in general. The
students should add pictures and/or videos to their

also be collaborative as I could have my students
comment on each other poster and select the book

Technology
Application
My students are using the MindMeister mobile
application on their individual cell phones or
tablets to collaborate with their peers and to create
and comment on each other’s mind maps about
roots, affixes, synonyms, and antonyms.
The students will create their own mind map using a
book they have read in class. They should include
words that have affixes and roots, along with
synonyms and antonyms of those words. After each
student has had time to create a mind map, they will
look at each other’s work and post comment and
make suggestions. I could also have students work in
groups and all work on the same mind map at once to
make a big one. Then, I would have other groups
comment on their mind map. This is a good way for
students to be exposed to many different examples of
vocabulary words with affixes, along with practicing
synonyms and antonyms.
