Lesson Plan
Activity Paper
You are to design a lesson plan for teaching a lesson of your choice to an elementary class. You will be graded on depth of thought, as well as the clarity and detail of the lesson plan. Additionally, your instructor will look to see if you have included the following sections and have included in your lesson plans Objectives, a list of Equipment required, Instructional activities, and Teaching hints:
BEFORE beginning this project, you should re-read the portion of chapter 3 (Planning for Quality Instruction) that applies to designing a lesson plan. This portion of the chapter begins on page 57, continues through page 62, and explains each section of the lesson plan as listed above. There is an example in this section for you to evaluate. Do not copy this lesson plan but you may follow the structure with your own lesson plan and your specific activities. There is a vast array of examples and explanations of activities scattered throughout this book. Please feel free to use any of them.
If you have any questions AFTER re-reading chapter 3, contact me NOW. This project will be due the last regularly scheduled day of class. Let me encourage you to maintain a notebook throughout this course so that you will have a place to keep your lesson plan as well as any notes you would like to print from this web site for possible use in the future.
