Lesson Planning

Assignment: Create and teach math and technology lesson plans to girls in 15 sessions of SMART Lab. The girls have been in school all day and will respond best to hands-on lessons that support and reinforce the school curriculum. You will create two sets of lessons that provide instruction for eight class sessions. While the lessons will not comprise a unit, each set should focus on related skills or concepts. You may choose to use a theme for each set. Following the teaching of each lesson, write a reflection about what went well and what you might change if you were to teach the lesson again. You will work with a partner and the two of you will turn in one set of plans. It is expected that both partners will contribute equal work to the plans.

Steps in planning:

Preplanning:

	Identify skills and concepts for grade level.
	Identify state standards for grade level.
	Determine objectives to meet standards.
	Research, choose, and design activities to meet objectives.
	Decide how best to teach the activity. (investigation, direct instruction, etc.)
	Determine what special needs of students need to be accommodated)
	Determine what materials you will need to teach the lesson

Write Lesson: - use the form provided

	Determine how you will interest students in lesson (springboard)
	Decide how you will present lesson (motivate, model)
	Decide what students will do (guided, group, independent practice)
	Decide how you will assess student understanding (student product, quiz, observation, rubric, etc.)
	Decide how you will close the lesson

Following the lesson: Reflection

	Think about what went well with the lesson.
	Ask yourself if students met the objective(s) of the lesson.
	Think about what did not go well.
	Decide what you will do differently the next time you teach this lesson.

Write these reflections at the end of each lesson plan.
