The BIG Picture: (Preparing to write your lesson plan)

Lesson planning is an iterative process!!! Formulate the MAIN Theme(s) for the

three lessons. (What is the main point you are teaching?) This ties the three lessons together

…Look in the front of your resource books!

Consider a Venn Diagram or some other representation.

What about objectives?

Consider the lesson objectives on the below. What do you think of each? Which are most useful for teachers?

Students will learn the new material from the lab Students will be able to draw and label a diagram of a closed

circuit Students will understand circuits Students will be able to explain the difference between a

closed and open circuit

What makes a good performance objective? What’s a SWBAT ? This is what the students will DO to build the

concept Use “Power” verbs. Take a look at Handout. - Performance Objectives / Power Verbs Avoid using terms that are not measurable.

Objectives

Your TASKSWith your partner: read the assigned lessons from your Teacher’s Guide then focus on Lesson/Activity 1

Skills

Let’s look at the LP resources on BB

TEKS State Standards for Science and Mathematics

Aligned with National Standards http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148

• Cut and paste only the TEKS that

apply to your lesson at your

grade level. Need both content and processes and skills.

Let’s start with: Exploration

Focus on what this really looks like and how you will structure.

How will you provide the students with opportunities to EXPLORE their own ideas about the topic?

Questions, questions, questions…..

For Next Time Bring lesson ideas to class – start working on your LP for T1 Consider sending a thank you after your observation Be prepared to share some of your observations If you need help on LP come to office hours, send us an email, or work

with Peer Mentors. Their hours are posted on BB – they are in the student work room to help you.
