4.+Develop+Instruction



Our storyboard below symbolizes the ADDIE Development Stage. As a team, we have developed a storyboard that outlines the plans for an upcoming product that will be used to teach the 6+ Writing Traits. The product, being an online book created in the web site named Bookbuilder, will be created in full using the plan below as our guide. Before the development of the storyboard, our team analyzed and established a learning need and then designed an instructional plan to meet the learning need. The learning need we selected was 6+ Writing Traits in which we are focusing on the second grade learner.

 The goals of our book are:

 * === For students to explain each of the 6+1 Writing Traits ===
 * === For students to determine effective writing by analyzing writing samples ===
 * === For students to apply the 6+1 traits in their own writings. ===

The development stage allows us to plan for all aspects of student needs and learning, including visuals, auditory information, and content that will capture the learning needs of students and their varying learning styles. Developing an online learning resource allows for easy access to the product and therefore to the learning. The "coaches" and the characters within the storyboard engage the learners and represent instructors and guides through the story. The visuals and auditory features support "English as a Second Language" learners and students with disabilities by offering alternative representations to the text as well as capturing students' attention. This development stage allows us to plan ahead, think through and outline content to meet the needs of all learners.

For our bookbuilder, we are planning on writing a fantasy story about using the 6+ Writing Traits. The book has a fairy who helps a student through the six traits. Each trait has three pages contributed to it in the book. The pages consist of an introduction page explaining what the trait is and how to use it, a page of the student in the story using the trait, and a page for the students reading the book to use a checklist for their own writing.
