I have now finished the first draft of my first lesson plan for sharing on this site... and what an experience it was!
The first lesson plan I completed was adapted from a Biology 20 lesson on Nomenclature and Classification on the CMASTE site. Although I know this isn’t entirely my own work, it was still a great learning experience! Being an undergraduate student, I have written some lesson plans in the past year of my studies in the Faculty of Education. But I have never adapted someone else’s lesson to be used for a specific purpose (the Indigenous teaching gardens), and never have I made the lesson plan for others to potentially put to use in their classroom!
Knowing that the lesson plan will be going up with the teaching resources, I have tried very hard to make it one of my best lesson plans. I hope that it will be able to be used by multiple teachers in various types of classrooms, and I also hope it can be adapted to fit into other Programs of Study such as Science 20, Science 24, or anything outside of the Alberta curriculum.
Once it is ready to be posted, I hope that those who see it can offer some constructive feedback for me to use in the future and for other educators to consider if they decide to use some of the ides presented. Stay tuned... it is coming soon!
