Tonight in class we talked about the design document for our thematic unit that we are developing. We refereed to chapter 11 of our text and we were asked questions. We focused a majority of time on lesson plans. This was really good clarification. I know now when writing my lesson plans that I need to include all 9 events to make it a good lesson plan.
This is great because there have been so many times that I have viewed lesson plans that have been posted to the web, or that I have gotten from other teachers. After reading the lesson plan sometimes I am confused, and think that I should not be that confused. I now know that some lesson plans are written very poorly and the planner forgot to cover all nine of the elements.
Writing my lesson plans for this thematic unit will be easy, but time consuming. So I am planning on get them done and posted so that I do not have to stress them.
We also practiced writing a lesson plan using the 9 events. Our instructors broke us into teams of 3 and we wrote a lesson plan on making a peanut butter and jelly. Below is my teams lesson plan
