PRe-fellowship lesson
Creating the lesson was the most time consuming part of my TOP application, but it was THE most worthwhile. I was able to use the lesson in my classroom to try it out and make adjustments to my application before submitting. When applying for Expedition PD, the learning does not come from the travel dates alone. The application writing itself gave me new insights into contemporary Germany and pushed me as a teacher to create a more engaging lesson design.
