Materials needed (if necessary)

Anticipatory set

Procedures (including)

Practice strategies (individual/group)

Active learning strategies

Questioning strategies

Assessment based on objectives

Conclusion/closure

 An AskERIC Write-A-Lesson Plan Guide    A good guide

 ***  A good lesson plan example *** Build An Animal Science Lesson Plan, Thematic Unit, Activity, Worksheet, or Biology or Chemistry Teaching Idea  Provides a good example and other links

1. Using education standards – pick one or two standard(s) for your lesson plan activity.

2. Follow the “key components of a lesson plan” listed on my web site #1

3. Develop 3 days of lesson plans (each day about two-three pages in length, single space)

·Instructional objectives SWBAT (students will be able to…).Use action verbs in your objectives.You may want to refer to your textbook on instructional objectives and go to the Use Bloom’s Taxonomy web page.http://coe.winthrop.edu/eversr/educ%20390/bloom's_taxonomy.htm

·Objectives must lead back to the main goal or standard

·Procedures – in addition to content, it also provides details on instructional strategies. Please provide a detailed outline of your procedures.Look over several examples of lesson plans before you start writing your procedures. http://www.askeric.org/Virtual/Lessons/Guide.shtml ,http://www.lessonplanspage.com/ScienceAnimalsAdaptToEnviron-BuildAnimal10.htm, etc.

·Assessment – a direct connection to objectives. Please write a summary outline of your assessment strategies (learning probes, presentations, text, labs, etc.)Use your textbook on assessment for ideas. 

4.Develop two different types of assessment examples.Look through your textbook for procedures and pick two from the list below:
