Lesson 2: Create your own Inquiry Based Lesson Plan
Let's put everything we learned to the test!
Linked here is a shared google folder. Within this folder, please add your own google doc or slides to create your own lesson plan on. Below is a rubric that you should follow when creating your lesson plan.
Please keep in mind, you do not have to "reinvent the wheel." Starting your teaching journey on inquiry based learning can be overwhelming. The goal is to take what you already use (a favorite lesson would be best!) and see how you can add in little inquiry based pieces into the lesson. As time goes on and you become more comfortable with the inquiry based approach, you can add in more! Not every lesson needs to be inquiry based either! I think a good place to start may be a lesson where you use a formula. Rather then giving students the formula, how can you get your students to come up with it themselves?
