This resource is quite logical and clear-cut. It moves naturally from giving a summary to stating the aims and finally the assessment plan. Each activity is laid out with its objectives and the procedures for doing it, so that 4th grade students can keep track of their work. Using headings, bullet points and examples makes the content very readable. I would only suggest that you reword a few of the steps more simply for them to be followed by beginners.
Learning Objectives and Consistency
The learning objectives are clear, age-appropriate, and directly tied to the activities. For example, the “Imaging Operation” connects to the aim of using images to conjecture what is happening in a story and the “Final Story” task supports the goal of writing a finished work with words that describe it. An objective-activity-assessment alignment grid will make it more visible for everyone involved in this process, instructors or scholars alike.
Interactivity and Engagement
Keeping in tune with modern times, this lesson can get students very involved. Using media that they are familiar with (pictures, peer feedback, creative writing), and getting peer review to get a plurality of opinions possible are really highlights here. You might let students choose from different sets of images for their story, which would be even greater fun and make things more lively.
Inclusiveness and Accessability
Its UDL principles are well-planned. That is to say, for students who have limited proficiency in English, have learning issues or are advanced, there are a few entry points. A good idea is allowing typed work as well as written one. And for those ELL students who have difficulty with language or writing, you might consider providing them a small dictionary of describing words to help them out furthermore.
Technological Use and Rationale
The technology employed (Google Classroom, Docs, Forms, OpenETC blogs) are well-chosen and easy to take up. By having just a few tools that are used regularly, there is less distraction and digital safety is ensured. Presenting material in a digital format is best suited to any multimodal literacy approach. Why not also have the students optionally add a recording of their work, as oral accompaniment?
Format and origins
This piece of work is written in a friendly, understandable style. The sources it cites are well-chosen and all support its claim to have a lasting impact on the development of storytelling.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HPdI-iyFIqFVkpSBy9VFODxwqAZ_JQoRl44wz82o8N8/edit?usp=drivesdk
