In my opinion, the lesson "Blending Fiction and Nonfiction to Improve Comprehension and Writing Skills" is the best blend of the pedagogy, technology and content.In this lesson, students are provided with various kinds of resource. As for the instruction part, the teacher has a very detailed plan. The activities allow students to start from the basic knowledge such as the difference between fiction and nonfiction and then students use what they have learned as tools to help them learn more. I also think the wrap up activity can truly assess students on if they are able to use these knowledge.
Among the three lesson plans, the Wiktionary Lesson Plan has the least of technology, pedagogy and content. The tasks are not diverse.
To me, the best blend means that teacher choose the useful content that guides students in learning. Meanwhile, the teacher should have concrete lesson plan that reinforces students' learning through practicing. In this process, tasks should be more than assessing if students remember the knowledge but more importantly, if they know how to use what they have learned.
