Please use Arial font, color black and size 11.
-
Keep this as the Master Outline Template. Rename and call each by its Module (1, 2, etc.)
-
Fill in the Activities boxes with the name of assignment, point value, etc.
-
In the Module Outline, you may copy items, and delete items that you are not using.
Example: maybe you aren’t using “Blog” in Module 2, so delete that from the Outline.
-
Please write any notes to your coach in red font, using their name first.

Learning Activities
The learning activities section is a way for you to sequence your students learning. Consider this as
your way of guiding them to understanding and scaffolding their learning. Be creative, use the right
tool for the right objectives and whenever possible integrate knowledge checks with feedback and/or
reflection. Be sure to provide an overview of each activity in the sequence and how it will help the
learner achieve the learning objectives. Add learning activities as necessary.
This is where you would insert lessons if you choose to use them: Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc. See the
example below.
Be sure to delete from this template, any activities that you do not plan to use in this module. For
example, if you will not use a “Interactive Case Study”, then delete the entire activity on Interactive
Case Study.
Lesson 1: Properties of Rational Functions
In this lesson, you will:
1. Read from your textbook in My Math Lab
