 * Application:** Paint.net
 * General Outcome, Core French:** By the end of grade five, students will be expected to:

**Specific Outcome, Core French:**

 * =====Use visual and verbal cues to help with communication=====
 * Assist students by demonstrating the use of picture and verbal cues in comprehension. Model the strategy by focusing students’ attention on visual cues such as photos, illustrations, gestures and facial expressions; text features such as headings, titles, and intonation.
 * Follow oral and written instructions, using a model.
 * Present oral and written texts using a model.

Explore, challenge, develop, and express ideas, using the skills, language, techniques, and processes of the arts.
 * General Outcome, Art: Students will be expected to:**


 * Specific Outcome, Art:**
 * Use experiences from their personal, social, and physical environments to create art.
 * Explore the elements of design (line, value, colour, shape, form, texture, and space) in creating artwork.

Through this lesson, students will be able to create a weekly chart using Paint.net, improve their French vocabulary, while becoming artistically and technologically engaged in the lesson.
 * Lesson Objectives:**

-Paint.net
 * Materials and Resources:**


 * Activating prior knowledge:**
 * Prepare a sample chart and guide students through the processes used on Paint.net to construct the chart/draw pictures
 * Use words and pictures to discuss French weather vocabulary to assure that everyone can interpret the chart.

I will provide the special needs students with more attention and help. I will guide them as they create their weather chart, being sure that they understand the vocabulary and how to construct the chart/use the tools. The purpose of this lesson plan will be to learn art techniques through technology such as lines and form in our columns, shape and colors in our drawings while also developing weather related vocabulary in French and practicing our reading and writing.
 * Adaptations for Students with Special Needs:**
 * Statement of Purpose:**

__Day 1:__
 * Teaching and Modeling:**
 * 1) I will begin the lesson by taking the students on a walk around the immediate landscape of the school. We will stop periodically and I will ask students about the weather forecast of that given day and what their favorite weather conditions are.
 * 2) After a thorough exploration, I will allow students time to discuss (in french) the weather forecast of that day.

__Day 2:__ __Day 3 (**See screenshots for further steps and examples**)__: __Day 4, 5, 6, 7:__
 * I, the teacher, will make a word wall of french weather vocabulary with related pictures, students can copy words they need to complete their charts and also for use in discussion.
 * 1) I will introduce students to Paint.net, showing the students how to use each feature, what it does, and allow them to become familiar with the program.
 * 2) I will display and explain step by step what students will be doing with their weather charts with use of an example (see screenshots).
 * 1) Students will be asked to write their names using Paint.net to make the columns.
 * 2) At the top of each column, students will be asked to write the names of the days, Monday through Friday in French, encasing them.
 * 3) On each day of the week, children will talk (in French) with their friends about the weather.
 * 4) Students will draw a picture as modeled by the teacher (using the given tools) of their daily weather observations in their charts.
 * 5) Under the pictures, students will then be asked to describe, in French, the weather conditions of that day.
 * 1) Each day students will reapeat steps 3, 4 and 5 of Day 3 to ultimately create a five day weather chart.
 * 2) Children will then be asked to present their finished weekly weather chart to the rest of the class.


 * Checking for Understanding:** I will check to see whether the students understand what I have just taught by using the weather chart to determine the degree of understanding students have about the principles, asking questions about their charts, and observing and listening during class discussion on the topic.

I will guide the students through the construction of the chart and make sure that all of the properties of the chart are correct. I will also observe while they construct their charts and correlating paragraphs to ensure they are correctly communicating the given weather conditions of the given day.
 * Activity on Guided Practice:**

I will allow the students to observe the weather vocabulary wall on their own and discuss what they see with fellow classmates. I will allow them to use Paint.net to draw the daily weather conditions and insert the information in their charts by themselves.
 * Independent Practice:**

I plan to evaluate students by:
 * Assessment:**
 * Checking students’ charts for follow-through on directions and completion of instruction and information.
 * Oral Presentation: Providing an opportunity for students to present their charts to the class. Students must read their paragraph on the weather aloud and also display their chart to the classroom.
 * Discuss students` charts, asking them to answer question from myself and fellow peers.

To sum up what we have covered I will ask students to present their chart followed by answering questions from the class. I will then explain to students the outline for the following class.
