The teacher will instruct a class of 20 sixth grade students about alternative forms of energy over the course of one week. The lesson plan incorporates visual and hands-on activities like viewing videos, completing online discussions and assignments, and working in groups on a WebQuest to help the students' low attention spans. By the end of the week, the teacher aims for 95% of students to accurately explain what alternative energy sources are and why they are important.

class of general education 6th graders. There
are 20 students 11 girls, and 9 boys. The
class has a very low attention span, and
tends to work better with a visual or hands
on approach.

3. With 95% accuracy, my students will explain
what an alternative source of energy is, and
why they are important with the use of
websites, videos, class discussions, and
visual aids by the end of one week.
