Lesson Plan and Reflection Instructions

Before you begin preparing your lesson plan, review the document provided titled Lesson Plan Guide. It will be a great tool to help you.

When writing your lesson plan for this course, use the Lesson Plan Template. This document will aid you in writing an objective. Make sure that your objective has the 3 parts described. Since this lesson is for a math lesson, make sure that you include a manipulative in the lesson. This manipulative must be incorporated throughout the lesson and not just added on at the end of the lesson. You must use it in your instruction, guided practice, and independent practice. You must include an image of the manipulative with your lesson plan.

After completing the lesson plan, you will need to teach the lesson. If you are not in a classroom, invite friends (or your family) over and let them be your students. After you have taught the lesson, write a reflection about your lesson using the form provided titled Lesson Plan Reflection Form.

Once you are done, you will attach both the Lesson Plan and the Lesson Plan Reflection in LiveText. Directions are provided below.

Follow the guidelines given in the Lesson Plan and Reflection Grading Rubric; make sure that all the criteria are included. Include the Standards of Learning for Virginia on the Virginia Department of Education website in your lesson plan.
