Lesson+Plan

Using a suitable lesson plan form and any appropriate teaching/learning aids, plan and conduct a thirty minute lesson on a keyboarding/information processing topic assigned to you. Select a partner who you are comfortable with in the class to experience the conferencing cycle. Prior to your lesson, you and your partner will meet briefly to pre-conference. Be sure to direct your partner in terms of feedback. After the lesson, you will meet to post conference and discuss your lesson. Immediately following your lesson, be prepared to respond to constructive criticism and questions from your colleagues and instructor. You will be expected to provide (via email) the instructor with a reflection statement by the next class that describes your thoughts on your lesson: include celebrations and concerns. Be sure to identify any areas that your desire to improve upon.

__ Guidelines: __ 1. Key your lesson plan in a clear, easy-to-follow format. __Supply your instructor with a copy before you teach__. 2. Your thirty minute lesson must include all parts of a lesson plan. Review both the lesson plan template and lesson assessment to prepare. You will have only 30 minutes, be sure you plan accordingly. 3. Ensure that you check and prepare or provide any equipment and/or materials you and the students will need for the lesson. 4. Regard your peer group as you would regard students in a class at the level you designate in your plan. Prior to your lesson, announce the level and course you have chosen. 5. Remember to determine a specific target you will work on during the presentation of your lesson. Your partner will prepare feedback on this target. You may choose to have a data collection sheet for your partner to use.
