Description:

We will be using this template to build your Final Project, which is a teaching activity that you will present to a peer subgroup throughout the course

Purpose:

The lesson plan is an "anchor" that can be used for any teaching activity. Using a lesson plan to build your leaning activities can help ensure that a critical component is not overlooked, that the learning objectives are not overlooked, and confirm that what is supposed to happen, does in fact happen. The lesson plan will play a critical role as you begin your teaching practice.

What to gain:

You will have an opportunity to build, piece by piece, a lesson plan that you will submit as part of your final project. Along the way, you will learn about each component in detail, so that you have abetter understanding as to its importance.

Upcoming activities:

You will be sharing your final project learning plan with your peer group in module 4, and components of it with your entire class throughout the course.

Directions

For this activity, you will do the following:

Download the template to your computer.
Align each section of the template with the corresponding module in the course.
Plot out a timeline for you to work on each section during the course. For some of you, setting aside the same day and time of the week will work just fine. For others, your schedule may be different each week, making it critical that you define a day for yourself to work on this project.
The amount of time you will need to create each section will vary based on your topic and teaching activity. Some sections will take longer to complete when compared to others.
