The Bones of Lesson Plans

Today we had our first crack at formulating a real lesson plan.  It felt good to finally put some meat on the bones (so to speak!) of the lesson plan outline provided.  After doing a bone-related relay race outside we practiced (as a class) articulating learning objectives and assessment criteria.  It was fun to then divide into our micro-teaching teams to work on our mini lesson plans using this approach.  We looked up the appropriate EALRs and GLEs (boy, are there a lot of them!) and came up with some good objectives.  The assessment part is a little trickier.  Luckily we have another week to figure it out.
