1. Present STEAM Based Unit on the Website/ Final products on the Website
1.1. Students will be working individually, in groups, interactive online, and individually online.
2. Standards Connections:
2.1. ISTE:
2.2. 1. Empowered Learner- Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. 2. Digital Citizen-Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical. 3. Knowledge Constructor- Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. 5. Creative Communicator- Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
2.3. Eng. Literacy, Science, Social Studies, Math, Technology, and/or Art

2.4. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.9-10.2.a
2.5. Introduce a topic and organize ideas, concepts, and information to make important connections and distinctions; include formatting (e.g., headings), graphics (e.g., figures, tables), and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.
2.6. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.9-10.6
2.7. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology's capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically.
3. Create Website for Classroom
3.1. Include blogspaces
3.2. Include comment wall
3.3. Include Visuals for unit curriculum(similar to class now)
3.4. Include written breakdown of class unit
3.5. Include tabs for navigation on certain projects, forms, templates, tutorials, etc.
3.6. Include embeeded videos related to unit plan
3.7. post timeline for unit
4. Create a STEAM based Unit titled "Coming of Age."
4.1. allow students to select a choice of novels centered around the theme "coming of age"
4.2. Create text sets that provide a variety of print and digital texts and allow students access via the website and with in-class materials/ artifacts- these will extend student content knowledge on related (not necessarily directly) of the novel. Touch on all disciplinary areas.
4.3. Students will team up in groups whom had the same novel. The teams will develop a set of questions they still wonder or want to know more about after reading. Once these lists are posted via the website, the teacher will review them and add to text sets as needed
4.4. Each student will choose an independent question they will use the text sets and/or research to come to findings. Students with the same novels may work together to investigate. The text sets may assist groups of students in further answering their inquiries or expanding upon findings.
4.5. After accessing text sets and developing knowledge on multiple points of view on each individuals/group's novel, students will now have an opportunity to take what they've learned a step further.
4.5.1. Given little parameters, student will be asked to present their question and create a version of their findings (game, product, artwork, presentation, digital art, 3d model, digital poster, photographs, etc.) in a creative way of their choice. The teacher will present options, provide tutorials/ citations online on the class website, and post a Padlet for final student responses. Time will be provided for brainstorming and "playing around" with these options. 3D or paper products will be scanned in.
4.5.2. Students will be required to view all presentations and 1)ask a new question 2)comment on something good 3)give feedback on technology/art integration 4) make a personal connection if applicable
