21ST CENTURY LITERACIES
Apple Museum Exhibit
When planning a lesson, especially for young children, it is important to keep the
lesson engaging. One way of keeping students engaged is by having them learn about
things that impact their lives and are relevant to them (Grafwallner, 2017). I kept this in
mind when choosing my topic. I live and teach in a rural area that is famous for our
apple production. My students pass apple orchards daily and are getting excited for our
upcoming National Apple Harvest Festival. Many teachers in my school do an apple
themed unit but lack some of the new literacies in their lessons. New literacies include
visual, digital, economic, and scientific (American College of Education, 2022). Literacy
doesn’t just mean reading printed books and the definition is rapidly changing to include
21
st
century skills (Rosaen & Terpestra, 2012). I designed this unit/exhibit to be relatable
to my students while helping to address some the new literacy skills that have been
absent in our past ‘apple week’ instruction. Below is an outline for a museum exhibit to
display lesson plans to promote the new literacies while learning about an engaging
topic to my students- apples.

Students will start by listening to the story “Johnny
Appleseed: The Grand Old Man of the Forest” by Margaret
Henley on Epic.
Students will then participate in a discussion about what
they learned from the story by adding notes to a Jamboard.
Promote
understanding by:
Students will compare the facts from the story to the those
in a video. Students will watch the Johnny Appleseed video
produced by BrainPop Jr. The teacher will pause the video
when students hear a fact that wasn’t listed in the book.
After a class discussion about the comparing and
contrasting the information, students will complete a graphic
organizer showing similarities and differences between the
stories. The discussion will also include the topic of fiction
vs. nonfiction as some of the ‘facts’ may have gotten added
to the folktale over the years.
This activity includes both digital and visual literacies.
Provide application/
higher-level thinking
by:
As a form of exit ticket, students will complete a digital sort
to identify facts about Johnny Appleseed and ‘facts’ that
might not be true.
Students will also include their thoughts on the fiction vs.
nonfiction debate and why they believe the Johnny
Appleseed story is fiction/nonfiction on a paper exit ticket.
