Next Steps:
Next week - LMU Lesson Plan #2 is due. Create a lesson plan using the LMU template. If you focus on the same class, then your demographic information will remain the same; however, your standards will change since your lesson's focus will change. The focus of next week's lesson is on reading.
Please create or use a reading strategy and use it for this lesson.
Week after next: LMU Lesson Plan #3 - Writing.
