Lesson Review

Today in class we are going to do peer critiques of lessons. You will critique each of your peers lessons and based on critiques and class discussions you will revise your lesson for Tuesday March 26.

We will also be discussing unit plans and reviewing your outlines.

Reading

Don't forget you need to read chapters 10 to 12 on Earth Science. On Thursday There will a online quiz on the reading. The quiz can be found on MyUTTC, it will only be open from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Lesson Plan

Using the lesson plan template. Prepare a rough draft of one of the lessons for your unit plan. Make sure you lesson is in the correct format and is related to your unit plan topic. Remember that this is only a rough draft but it must include all the components of the lesson plan with the exception of the reflection.

The rough draft is due Tuesday March 19 you must send me the lsson prior to the start of class. I will make copies for peer review.

I will be available via e-mail after 6 p.m.

Unit Plan

Teacher candidates will choose a science topic and then develop a 5-day unit for that topic. The candidates will choose from four main strands (life science, physical science, earth science and space science). Each strand must be represented by a unit. Evidence of other subject areas and technology, appropriate assessment of student learning, planning for diverse learners, and classroom management is expected.

Create an outline for your unit plan. Your outline will need to include the topic of the unit, the rationale, performance objectives, an overview of the content, an outline of the content, a brief description of five lessons (not a lesson plan just a topic and overview), accommodations, and assessment strategies. Remember this is an outline we will add more details later. Keep the assignment in mind (listed above) when you are selecting your topic.

The outline is due Tuesday March 19.
