Hello! I have been teaching for 10 years and I love creating lesson plans. Frist, you will want to know what standards you are going to be teaching. Depending on your state. I am in Washington so we have the Common Core. Write all the standards down. If it is too many pick the main ones. Now, what is your goal for the students? How are they going to show what they learned? Is it going to be a test? Project? Keynote? Essay? Movie? Are you going to let them show you what they learned by allowing them to chose? I have given my kiddos a choice. For example, they have a menu to choose from. Could build something, poster, movie, paper, song. Allows students to use their gifts and skills to show case what they learned. Next, you will want to answer these questions. How are you going to teach the content? How are your students going to learn the content? How long will it take.....one day or a week? Then you start to build your lesson. Sometimes working backwards helps me. Reach out if you have more quesitons. You can email me at [email protected] |
