Leadership and Peer Support - GPP30
Culminating Activity: Designing a Lesson and Future Careers
Assignment
Lesson Plan
You are to prepare a lesson plan as though you are going to teach it to your peer
tutoring class. You are not required to teach it, just design it.
STEPS:
1. Discuss your ideas for the activity with your host teacher and/or Mr.
Greer.
2. Plan your activity (you may want to discuss it with your host teacher or
have your host teacher check it over).
3. Hand in the assignment to Mr. Greer. As a guide, a two page report
should be your goal.
Use the following headings in your written assignment. You may use point
form in the assignment. Aim for a 2 page assignment.
1. Learning Goals
- List the learning goals of the lesson in terms that a student would understand.
2. Prior Knowledge
- What prior knowledge do the students need to prepare them for the lesson and
task? For example, do they need to understand how to write a news report? Or
perhaps add integers?
3. Activities
- What activities will the students be doing during this lesson? Will they need to
listen to instructions? Will they be writing? Will there be group work? Will students
work with their hands? Will students work independently? Break the lesson down
into parts and estimate how much time each part will take.
4. Materials
- List any materials needed by the teacher or the students to complete the lesson.
5. Support for Learning Styles
- Describe how students with each of the four learning styles will be supported in
the lesson. For example, how would a student who is an auditory learner be
supported.
6. Support for Students With Barriers to Learning
- Describe how students with barriers to learning might be supported. For
example, how would a student with Fear of Criticism be supported.
7. Dealing With Conflict
- Describe steps that might be necessary to reduce conflict in the class or deal
with conflicts that might arise during the lesson.
8. Evaluation
- How will you know if the students have achieved the learning goals? In
particular, how will you assess students in the different learning styles? While
often a test is used, does this allow students with different learning styles to be
properly evaluated? Will students have a choice in what they submit (for example,
a PowerPoint instead of an essay)?
