EXAMINE
Planning meaningful experiences involves breaking plans down to their most basic elements. How many different ways can you think to guide children’s thinking on a specific topic?
Take a look at the form below. This is an alternative format for drafting lesson plans. Yes, this plan looks overwhelming and tedious. In the ENERGIZE section, our content expert will walk through to show the form is a tool which lays the foundation for effective, efficient planning of meaningful, interconnected lessons. The intent of the form is to help teachers draw upon the previous two steps, observing play schema and hook lessons. Pulling evidence from those two steps, it is possible to plan multi-day, interconnected lessons that differ from the traditional daily lesson plan format. This form is not necessarily meant for planning lessons every day, but rather looking at identifying activities which can connect, build upon one another, and be repeated for maximum learning opportunities. The questions under each heading provide prompts for reflective thinking, by which teachers can identify goals, hypotheses about children’s play, and brainstorm additional experiences. Take a look at the video as Amy provides some additional insight into how to use this form.
