11-20-08 - Final Lesson Plan assigned

Today in class we discussed our final lesson plan. This lesson plan is very interesting. Each group has a different grade in which to plan a measurement lesson for. The groups must communicate with each other so that the lessons hook on to the grade above and the grade below. Along with discussing the requirement, we set-up our groups, grade levels, topics, and hooks to the other grade levels. The class time we were allowed was very helpful so that we could communicate with member of the other groups. Judging from our initial planning that we did in class, I believe that these lessons are going to be really cool. It will be fun to listen to the presentations and see how the learning has progressed through the grades. Also we are learning a great skill, by having to hook the lessons. As a teacher, you should also be trying to hook your lessons to something the students already learned or to something the students are going to learn in the future.
