This document outlines the process for planning video lessons, which includes 7 key steps: 1) identifying student objectives, 2) identifying assessments, 3) determining the unit essential question, 4) determining concepts to be taught, 5) determining lesson essential questions, 6) developing the video lesson, and 7) assessing student progress. Each step in the planning process builds upon the previous ones to ensure the lessons taught align with objectives and assess student understanding.
