Learning Objectives and Computer Functions This lesson plan uses 1 objectives.

Problem Problem Nature This particular group of students was extremely interested in the conflicts within the story, maybe because they have personal conflicts themselves and can relate. Problem Data generated Notes on Using Data

Problem Statement It is hard to remember all of the conflicts and types of conflicts that exist in the story, so you will be creating a PowerPoint that describes and depicts the conflicts that exist in the story (include at least five pictures).

Data Manipulation Instructions The learner used computers at intermediate level

Integration Strategies Students will make a list of the types of conflicts discussed in class (man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature). Students will then go through the book making a list of the conflicts and putting them under the correct type of conflict.

Activities Activities Before Using the Computer Students will make a list of the types of conflicts discussed in class (man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature). Students will then go through the book making a list of the conflicts and putting them under the correct type of conflict. They will find pictures that represent the conflicts (at least five pictures). Strategies to develop students' attitudes towards the problem, motivation, and overall mindfulness: I will make sure that students have put the conflicts under the appropriate categories and included at least five pictures. Students will be encouraged to find the most creative pictures they can find and be as imaginative as possible. For example, they can find a picture of two boys getting in a fight, which would represent Ponyboy\\\'s fight in the novel.
