Pre+Instructional+Activities

__Motivation__: Explain to the 4th, 5th & 6th grade students that they will be required to use the MyFiles system to complete two assignments per trimester. One assignment will be in a core subject area (Math, ILA, Science, Social Studies, or Religion) and one will be for computer class.
 * Pre Instructional Activities **

__Objectives__: Using a sample assignment and a PowerPoint presentation, illustrate how much work a student accomplished at school on a file and how much they accomplished at a non district location (home). A timeline of the project will also be explained to the students. Inform the students about the assignments for the 1st trimester. The students will need to begin the assignment on the computers at school and then complete the assignment from a non district location. The MyFiles system will allow the students to work on computer files from the SJY Network at a non district location. __Entry Skills__: During the 1st trimester students will review how to log in to the network, manage computer files and create basic files in common computer applications such as Word, PowerPoint, etc.

__Student Groupings and Media Selections__: 4th, 5th & 6th grade students will receive direct instruction in the computer lab. The computer teacher will use a computer projector to display the relevant material. (PowerPoint presentation, practice tests, etc.)
