1) Synthesize knowledge gained in mini-course to generate and implement a lesson plan using peer evaluation.
2) Complete a self-assessment of lesson plan development and implementation by answering 4 reflection questions.
Lesson:
Remember that lesson plans not only give you a guide for instruction, they provide an opportunity for you to think about your learners, what they know and what you would like them to accomplish. While peer evaluation is the intended physical framework for your lesson plan, think about what you want your students to accomplish through the use of it. Is it your goal to strengthen writing skills? Reviewing or editing skills? Are you trying to encourage more group discussion and collaborative work among your students? Are you trying to shift your instructional pedagogy toward student-centered learning techniques?
Step 1: Use the information you have learned in the previous units as well as any additional resources to create a lesson plan using peer evaluation.
Step 2: Implement your lesson plan in a classroom. (Accommodation can be made if access to a classroom is not available, see Modifications section below)
