Lesson Plan Unit: 4: Digital Images Topic: Define Terminology Framework: DCI 1.1
ELA Framework: W4.10.5, 4.11.5, 4.12.5 CCSS: WHST 10.9, 11.9, 12.9 (Author: Shannon King)
 What concept within the framework is to be developed? What is the specific objective of the lesson? Define
terminology. Students will understand and be able to define a list of 27 terms related to digital images.
 What do students probably already know about the content? What prior knowledge needs to be activated?
Students will probably recognize a few of the terms from CBA where they worked with graphics in Word and in
PowerPoint. To activate prior knowledge, students need to be reminded of the terms/skills they learned in CBA
(rotate, crop, brightness, contrast, import, grouping, resize, watermark, flip) and then a discussion needs to take place to show how this knowledge/skills can be transferred to DTP and to image editing software such as
Photoshop.
 What don’t they know? Students will not know the two types of images (vector and bitmap,) the image file formats available (GIF, JPEG or JPG, PNG, TIF, and WMF) and when to use each, the types of DTP software available (drawing and painting software,) the three types of digital camera zooms (digital, optical, and macro
zoom,) and will not know the meaning of bitmap, resolution, rule, hairline, layering, and uploading.
 Is there potential for misconception? Yes, understanding image file types (what each offers and when the appropriate time to use each) is difficult for students to grasp until they have used each type several times and have experienced what the file types can and cannot do.
 What should students be able to do at the end of the lesson? Students should be able to define/describe each term in their own words, to match each term to the framework definition, and to use each term appropriately in class discussions and in writing assignments.
 What resources are available to develop the concept? Many literacy strategies are available such as the Admit
Slip, Own the Word, Verbal and Visual Word Association, and Pre-learning/Post-learning Concept Check. In addition, visual representations of the words are available online. To develop the concept and learn the meanings of each term, students will use image editing software such as Photoshop.
 What questions will focus students’ thinking on the concept and help guide learning? What are the terms?
What do I think they mean? What do they actually mean? Were my definitions and the actual definitions similar?
When and/or where will I use these terms?
 How will I assess students’ understanding of the essential concepts and major details? I will prepare an Admit
Slip for vocabulary words (attached) for students to complete. The before strategy will ask them to write down what they think each term means…before the lesson. I will ask for volunteers to share what they wrote down, which will initiate a class discussion about each term. During the lesson, students will write down the actual definition of each term as we cover it in class. Before students turn in the Admit Slip, they are asked to evaluate how close their initial definition of the word came to the actual definition. (The Admit Slip will be graded with 3 points possible per term: 1 pt. for recording the term, 1 pt. for writing what the student thought the word meant, and 1 pt. for writing down the actual definition.) Another way that I will assess students’ understanding of the terms during the lesson is through observation while student’s use the terminology to complete activities in
Photoshop. I will also use my new classroom performance clicker system during the lesson to assess student understanding by posing questions and based upon the overall and individual results, re-teach as needed. After the lesson, I will assess student’s understanding of each term with an Exit Slip by asking students to write a sentence for each term that helps describe what it means, what it does, or when it can be used. (Example: The best time to use the PNG file format is when I want transparency in my image.) I will do a final assessment by asking students to take a quiz where they will match the term to the definition.

What Students Will Do
 Record terms from Word Wall
 Write what they think the term means
 As terms are covered in the lesson, students will record the actual definition for each
 Respond to questions posed using the classroom performance clicker system
 Analyze whether their definitions closely matched the actual definition
 Write a sentence for each term that helps describe what it means, what it does, or when it can be used.
(Example: The best time to use the
PNG file format is when I want transparency in my image.)
 Match term to definition
What Teachers Will Do


CBA
 Will ask for volunteers to share what they think the words mean
 Will lead class discussion over the possible meaning of the terms

Will say the terms out loud
Will remind students that many of the terms may sound familiar from
Will emphasize each term’s definition
 Will demonstrate how students can transfer prior knowledge/skill associated with each term
 Will observe student’s use of terms (verbal and skills) during
Photoshop activities
 Will use the classroom performance clicker system to measure student understanding by posing questions to the group and assessing the overall and individual results and re-teaching as necessary
 Will ask for volunteers to compare/share what they had initially thought a term meant and what they learned that it means
 Will give examples of properly written sentences using the terms
 Will prepare a quiz where students will match the term with the definition
 Based on the quiz results, may reteach certain terms if misconceptions still exist

 Directions: Write an appropriate sentence for each term that helps describe what it means,
what it does, or when it can be used. (2 points each)
Example: The best time to use the PNG file format is when I want transparency in my image.
Example: In a painting software, such as Photoshop, I can create bitmap images and original art.
Example: When I want to remove part of an image, I need to crop it.
