Collaborative Lesson Planning

I collaborated with a classroom teacher, Mrs. Hinson, to discuss a unit topic that I could help supplement. Mrs. Hinson and I discussed the topics and decided to do a mini-unit on fossils, past organisms, and using information ethically. We identified the Georgia Performance Standards that this covered. We developed a learner analysis that would help me to identify student needs and accommodations that I may need to include in my unit. I have identified the students who I will need to assign seating as well as repeat directions individually. Additionally, we discussed possible activities and assessments that would be beneficial to learning and reaching the identified learning goals. The learning goals are: 1. Explain how fossils are formed. 2. Use technology ethically to promote learning and share knowledge with others. 3. Determine what fossils can tell us about past organisms.
