In this lesson students will think about the many uses of technology in their own daily lives. We will also discuss how technology has changed through the years. Next, we will discuss technology's purpose and how the goal of technology is to make our lives easier. A google slides presentation has been included to help explain these concepts. Activity: Students will get a chance to compare and contrast a task both using technology and doing the same task without technology. Students will compare the differences for sending a message using technology and sending that same message with pencil and paper.
Students will distinguish between two types of fiction (realistic/fantasy) and nonfiction texts by their attributes. Students will also listen to text snippets and identify whether it is fiction (r/f) or nonfiction.
