Youare a first year teacher. Your principal is going to observe your classfor a day. You need to prepare a lesson for that day of class, and setit in a context so that your principal can understand how it fits in.
As a part of this assignment you must do the following:
- Design and teach a lesson to the class drawing upon class themes
- Submit a detailed written description of your lesson plan, along with the context in which it is set (target class, the place this falls in the unit, other activities and lessons that would be done before and after this lesson, etc.)
- Write a reflection on the lesson.
The lesson should be approximately 35-40 minutes long.
Forour class you will be working on these projects in pairs. You will beteaching the lessons the last two to three weeks of classes (April 28-May 12). Youshould set your lesson in one of the schools that you have beenobserving in this semester. But you should define the school, class,and subject that you are teaching and use this to justify your lessonplans. The primary criteria for these lessons is how you reflect theeducational themes that we discussed in class (and in your otherpractice teaching) this year. This is best accomplished by focusing onone or two themes and specifically pointing those out in a briefintroduction to your lesson.
The written part may be integrated into the final portfolio or submitted separately. Due by the end of classes.
