 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">Learning Objectives: ** ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">The students will analyze key elements of the book Shiloh.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">The students will distinguish between reliable and unreliable resources on the internet. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">The students will apply proper mechanics when creating written assignments. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">The students will create documents and presentations that correspond to what they have learned from the book and research. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14pt;">Using technology throughout the unit will allow students to locate and use information in new and meaningful ways. The activities using technology will enhance student’s Web 2.0 skills using a wiki, blog and web-based research. Web-based research assignments will increase skills at distinguishing between reliable and unreliable sources of information. By actively engaging students in lessons and creating assignments in which students must use technology will encourage students to attend class and increase active daily participation. Improved retention of the main topics and ideas of the book can be achieved by participating in the web-quest and teaching your classmates about what you have learned. Differentiated instruction for the lessons on writing sentences and using proper punctuation can be useful at meeting student’s needs and providing proper level instruction and practice to improve writing skills. Immediate feedback will be provided for on-line quizzes allowing students to know how well they did on the quiz. ||
