Students will write a summary paragraph towards the end of class about what they learned in class. This course is designed to learn some key things about our Solar System and how to write an effective summary paragraph. This will help the students to practice their summary writing. These summaries will be added into the FlipBook Final Project.

This course is designed to educate students about our Solar System.

Possible external sources could include Nearpod for lesson content, unlisted YouTube videos from the teacher, Flipgrid for interactive video assignments, Kahoot for quizzes, Activity Learn for assignments, etc. Students are not required to have accounts. They will be provided links and then we'll complete the tasks. These tasks are for the lesson, comprehension, and interaction. 

We will use different methods of interaction between the student and the teacher. These methods will include Nearpod, Google Docs, and other relatable resources that would be beneficial each week. For example, students will be able to upload their weekly writing with Google Docs, copy & paste, or Microsoft Word and the teacher can help with revisions, ideas, grammar, spelling, comments, etc. Another example would be using Nearpod where students can complete polls (for example: Have you been so excited that you 

Towards the end of class, each student will write a minimum of a five sentence paragraph about the day's topic. This will help the students to practice their summary writing and allow for the teacher to assess the child's knowledge of the topic.  

In addition, students will share their summary in the classroom. Peer review will be allowed for those students who do not mind. If the student does not want to participate in a peer review, that will be fine.

In addition, the students will be creating their own Solar System throughout the course. After each class, the student will create that week's topic to be added to their final project. For example, the week we learn about The Sun, the students will create The Sun through what ever art supplies or other types of supplies. During our 12th week, all students will present their final project of their versions of the Solar System by uploading pictures/videos and explaining their solar system.

This 3D Solar System, along with a final FlipBook will be turned in for week 12. Students will receive feedback on the final project and final report within two weeks of the conclusion of the class and a certificate of completion will be provided.
