28. CREATING LESSON PLANS be true that experienced teachers do not write out elaborate lesson plans, nevertheless, for students learning to become teachers writing lesson plans can be http://ss.uno.edu/SS/TeachDevel/LessonPlans/CreateLPsMenu.html

.... part of The Social Studies Web Teacher Explorer Center at the UNO CREATING LESSON PLANS While it may be true that experienced teachers do not write out elaborate lesson plans, nevertheless, for students learning to become teachers writing lesson plans can be very useful. The main benefit of writing writing lesson plans is to develop ggo habits of the mind. Habits that force the teacher to think about the important aspcets of the lesson and how to best teach and assess the lesson. While there are numerous lesson plan models most share basic characteristics, such as: objectives, introducing the lesson, lesson development, and assessment. Quoted from ADPRIMA web site Lesson planning...who needs it? Well, maybe you do! Lesson planning is a skill . It is one thing to surf the Net and get lesson plans from other sites that you can use. It is quite another thing to have the skill to develop your own lesson plans. Having this skill is far more valuable than being able to use lesson plans developed by others. It takes practice to acquire this skill, and it won't happen overnight, but it is a skill that will help to define you as a teacher. Knowing "how to" is far more important than knowing "about" when it comes to lesson plans. This is among the most popular pages on the ADPRIMA web site, and for good reason. Good lesson plans do not ensure students will learn what is intended, but they certainly contribute to it.

Lear, Limericks, and Literature: Creative Writing Lesson Plans "How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!'' Who has written such volumes of stuff! Some think him ill-tempered and Queer, But a few think him pleasant enough." Edward Lear Grade Level: Overview This series of lesson plans is designed to help you introduce reading and creative writing activities in a fun way. You can conduct the unit in as little as one week or optimally over a several week period. The length of time you need for the unit will depend on how many of the assignments and other activities you pursue. In this unit, you will introduce the student to the limerick and other zany rhymes made famous by Edward Lear in the 1850's. The lessons use these limericks to introduce a number of basic poetic devices. Understanding and using these devices can improve the students general writing. They also serve as models for teaching the disciplined, systematic art of limerick and poetry writing. All of the sessions use material found in books by Edward Lear that are a part of the Animated Artist Series. However, since these poems and limericks are in the public domain you may find them in a variety of books and may also find additional examples that you can use in this unit. Objectives After following this unit, the student will:
