A template
has been provided to help guide your lesson development.
You will be completing and posting a draft of your lesson by the end of week
5. During week 6 you will read two other students’ draft lessons and provide
comments. You will read (and if appropriate) incorporate comments made by students
about your draft lesson into your lesson design.
During the final class we will have a gallery walk for participants to display:
- a hard copy of their lesson
- visuals to support understanding (optional)
- props and/or other lesson materials (optional)
You will also prepare a presentation to the class of not more than 5 minutes
explaining your activity/lesson.
You must post your final project on MassONE sometime before the end of the last
class.
