Assignment 1: Lesson Plan from Development Posts Lesson Plan 1

Due in Week 10 and worth 210 points

Starting in week 1, you will work on creating a lesson plan. Each week you will:

• Develop a specific part of your lesson plan.
• Post your lesson plan piece to that week’s lesson plan development discussion board.
• Peer-review at least one of your classmate’s posts.
• Review the comments on your own post.

You should maintain your own document in which you can make revisions to each part of your lesson plan as you review the comments on your own post. At the end of 9 weeks, you will have all the information you need to create a full lesson plan. The only thing you should have to do is make minor revisions and format your lesson plan. A copy of a lesson plan is in Chapter 6 for your reference.
