1. Assignment 1: Lesson Plan from Development Posts Lesson
Plan 1
Due in Week 10 and worth 210 points
Starting in week 1, you will work on creating a lesson plan.
Each week you will:
Develop a specific part of your lesson plan.
Post your lesson plan piece to that week’s lesson plan
development discussion board.
Peer-review at least one of your classmate’s posts.
Review the comments on your own post.
You should maintain your own document in which you can
make revisions to each part of your lesson plan as you review
the comments on your own post. At the end of 9 weeks, you will
have all the information you need to create a full lesson plan.
The only thing you should have to do is make minor revisions
and format your lesson plan. A copy of a lesson plan is in
Chapter 6 for your reference.
This lesson will be the basis for your 3-lesson unit final project.
An example of a unit plan is also in Chapter 6 of your textbook.
