When we first came together we found out that most of us were on fixed schedules and we were all looking for a better way to conduct checkout. We came up with the idea of Power Burst lessons. The thought behind this was to come up with short lessons while a group was checking out books. Being new to the district I was trying to become familiar with all of the standards for each of the grade levels. I finally came up with an idea to create a lesson plan template that had the literacy or technology standards incorporated. The creation of this template for each grade level was my main focus for the wiki. Near the bottom of the page I came up with two powerburst lessons that I have tried several times during check out and they work well for me. The lesson has worked well with thrid, fourth, and fifth grades.I have tried other Power Burst lessons but I am still in the process of revising them and trying them with classes.
