Creating the student must generate an idea about

what the story was about; they then must plan out
what they want to write; then they must construct the
ideas. They will then have to construct a presentation
and apply it to the website.

Have students create a formal report to be given to

the class about the topic to give extra knowledge to
peers. Post a video and ask students to respond to
the video.

Other
Reflection:

These are all very different examples about a lesson that could be used in a classroom following the first grade standards. I just want to clarify that all of this lessons would be placed on a website or blog
that the students create prior to completing each activity. The idea for this is to allow access to other students work in a variety of settings. Students can receive feedback and critiques as to what they are
working on in addition to giving such to other students. It allows for a more effective collaborative effort on all the projects that can be created.
