Part 1: Topic

Learners will use Weebly to create a published webpage with content that the learner willpresent at the history day competition.

Part 1a: Learning Goal

Learners will use components of Weebly elements, design, pages and setting to createan individual webpage.

Part 1b: Description of the Learning Audience

The learning audience is the 7hand 8thgrade students at Sacred Heart Grade School.They are between 12 and 14 years old and there are 15 males and 14 females.

Part 1c: Rationale

The students at Sacred Heart will be competing in the National History Day competition.Some of the students have chosen to develop a website to demonstrate their research onthis years theme Debate & Diplomacy: Successes, Failures, and Consequences. Thestudents may represent their research on a website. The contestants that choose awebsite are required to use Weebly to develop the website for the competition. Theinstruction of this workshop will help those students and other students that would like toknow how to develop a website for other purposes. The students overwhelmingly do nothave experience with Weebly and instruction in a workshop will assist the students in

developing a web site in Weebly.The instructional strategies are 66% supplantive and 34% generative. The strategies aremostly supplantive because the learners do not have high prior knowledge, the task issimple and well-defined, the learners have a deadline, they share universal goals and thereare external demands for competency. The mix of generative and supplantive strategies allthe learners to conserver their cognitive capacity for acquiring the new skills, and includegenerative strategies to allow the learners to construct their own meanings from theinstruction (Ragan & Smith, 2005).

The major instructional strategy is 60% procedure and 40% problem solving. Theinstruction for the building of the webpage is more procedural because of the step by stepprocess necessary for a webpage to be built and published. The problem solving portion is

a sub strategy because the learners will combine the procedures and principles to designunique websites.

Project Goal Statement:

Learners will use components of Weebly elements, design, pages and setting to createan individual webpage.

ATTENTIONA.1 Perceptual Arousal

>Learners will view the winning history day websites for the junior and senior division for the

2010 competition

A2. Inquiry Arousal

> Learners will be asked which features that would include on their website to the websites they

viewed

A3. Variability

>Learners will view short video on Weebly

RELEVANCER1. Goal orientation

>Students will be able to access the webpage that has the class notes on it and the history day

competition requirements. They will be given handouts that they can use at home

R2. Motive matching

>Learners have selected topics that they have an interest in and are able to select their web page

content

R3. Familiarity

>The students will be able to apply their word processing and PowerPoint skills to the web

development

CONFIDENCEC1. Learning requirements

>Student will have a check list and screen shots to follow

C2. Success opportunities

>Learners will be able to able to compare their web sites to others and the winning web sites to

use those presentations as examples

C3. Personal control

>Students will have a rubric that will include the criteria their projects will be judged on by the

history day judges

SATISFACTION

S1. Natural consequences>Learners will have learned to build a web page and that skill will be transferred to other courses

they may take.

S2. Positive consequences

>Learner will be able to demonstrate their web pages to other class members and their families

S3. Equity

>Viewers will receive positive feedback from other classmates and from the teacher
