The following unit was developed for a 3rd grade class based around the novel __Charlotte's Web__ by E.B. White. My goal is to incorporate technology into this unit to make it more enjoyable and relevant to students. The unit will include three lessons. 

Lesson 1: Creating A Virtual Farm  Description: In this lesson, students will create a virtual farm in groups of four. Virtual farms will be created within a PowerPoint Presentation. Farms will be created after we have learned about different types of farms and the difficulties and challenges they face.

Students will choose a character page on which to post quotes, thoughts, questions, or images using what they know from the novel. Students will also post to our discussion board and find interesting vocabulary with definitions to post.
