The Plans continue

Its interesting how people view directions differently. I will admit I was getting a little frustrated during class because I thought we were supposed to make lesson plans as if we were going to go right then and use them. So when we were discussing the rubric, I felt that we were supposed to use real numbers and not make it vague like some people wanted to do. Of course each teacher can change it but its nice to have something to start out with. Oh well. Its not a big enough think to get mad or frustrated over. anyway The plans are going well. Now I understand how to do the quizzes and use that moodle a little better.

Making lesson plans

Making up these lesson plans is kind of fun. I am afraid of missing something and not making it complete enough that somebody else can follow it. Amanda and I got together to talk about how we will split up the engineering and drafting section. So we were able to make a lot of head way on the lesson plans. Its intereesting at first I didn't like the lesson plan template that we were given. There seems to be so many things that are repetitive for me. But It is pretty throurogh. I am the type that likes to see play by play and so I guess that is one thing that I will add to my own templat. I think if I combine the two then I will get a good plan that will help me make sure that my lesson has a purpose and not just something fun for the kids to do. I think in the future I will research more lesson plan exxamples and templates because I know that the one given to us is not a have to do this or die thing but just ine other example. It will be interesting to see what type of lesson plans examples my sister has. She was a school teacher for 1st grade.

Lesson Planning

Today in class we decided to do a group lesson plan for our last assignment. I think it is going to be very exciting. With the topic that we chose I still get to do CAD stuff. I am excited to learn how to set up a plan that works with many different principles and concepts. We had a good planning session even though it took us a while to get started and have the ideas flow. It was nice how we were able to give our opinion about things and explain why we think other's ideas were good or bad.
We were able to work off of eachother's strengths and come up with an ingenious plan. It is going to turn out good. Now i need to keep thinking about some good lesson plans for my topic of engineering.
