3. FIRST. What is a lesson plan? A lesson plan is a teacher's daily guide for what students need to learn, how it will be taught, and how learning will be measured. Lesson plans help teachers be more effective in the classroom by providing a detailed outline to follow each class period. https://www.aeseducation.com/what-is-a-lesson-plan Why are they important? Lesson plans help ensure that all standards and materials are covered, providing a teacher and students with structure for each class day. Many schools require that teachers submit lesson plans in a specific format on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. For teachers who do not have a required format, a variety of formats are available to meet individual needs https://classroom.synonym.com/types-lesson-plans-8145257.html

4. SECOND. What does a good lesson plan need to include? Good lesson plans should have 6 parts: Lesson Objectives Related Requirements Lesson Materials Lesson Procedure Assessment Method Lesson Reflection https://www.aeseducation.com/what-is-a-lesson-plan

5. WHAT THINGS DO I NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHEN CREATING A LESSON PLAN? What are the 6 key things I need in a plan? What is my topic? What are the standards and requirements for the content or topic I am teaching? What do I want my students to know? What should my students already know? How long is the lesson going to take to complete? What materials will I need? How will I test the students to see if they got it ? What lesson plan style will work best for this lesson? Does my school require a template or specific kind of lesson format? .. ? There are lots of lesson plan styles and lots of questions you can ask yourself when planning a lesson!

6. HOW DO I WRITE A BLOCK LESSON PLAN? A clock lesson plan covers a set number of minutes, per day, for each week Think about your classes now Teachers have to consider the time they have the students How much to do in each block for each day And think about how many days a week the class will meet This means breaking a lesson into segments! Does your school have a set format you have to use?

7. If you want to use a template you can look online! EXAMPLE .. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Block-Lesson-Plan-Template-680203

9. HOW DO I CREATE A WEB THEME PLAN? Here s a cute plan I found online (see the attribution at the bottom!) https://www.prekprintablefun.com/pets--vets.html

10. WEBBING EXAMPLE PRE-K This first web is focused on centers. This web is simply an example of how webbing can be used to help you think through all aspects of your classroom planning. In every web you want to start with the middle of the web. The middle of the web is the core idea that you will build all other parts of the web from. Webbing out from the word in the middle are the centers I have elected to set up in my classroom. I could have added fewer or more centers. The point of this article is not to tell you what centers to include in your web or classroom, rather to show you how to use the webbing method. This website is informative and has great information for web theme plans! Teachpreschool.org

11. Lets look at this graphic from ASCD.org. What kind of lessons could we plan? Lets start with a theme . https://www.ascd.org/ASCD/images/publications/books/drake2004_fig1.1.gif

12. HOW WOULD YOU CREATE A LESSON USING A WEB? Let s try one together! Take out some paper ..and a pencil . What should our theme be?

13. WHO WOULD LIKE TO SHARE? (options for this if you prefer are to work in small groups and present together!)

14. Thank you for a great class! Thanks to all the creators of resources I used, all work has been attributed accordingly!
