Lesson Plans

In this section, I will be explaining the fun process of lesson plans and utilizing examples in which I taught my own students. These are middle-school level assignments but they possess a format that can also be applied to early elementary or high school subjects.

The first option for lesson planning would be basing an assignment on a particular source material.

1. Find a resource - video, book, any sort of educational media

2. Base notes on the source material - Cornell notes, follow-along worksheet, Individual note-taking

3. Find an activity (could be artistically oriented or written)

4. Reflection - ask the students question and enable them to discuss with peers

Source Material

The second option is basing the lesson plan on a creative idea that stems from recent lessons or subjects being taught in class. In this case, I was teaching character analysis and thought it would be a great idea for students to uncover the writing process and character decisions by letting them create their own characters, as well as play as those characters in an interactive sequence like interviews.

1. Choose your unique idea - could be anything relating to what you have taught

2. Form an activity - make sure this keeps the students engaged

3. Reflection - offer questions so students can discuss their experiences and provide new ideas
