Included in your lesson plan must be a list and description of what you are going to do and the time expected to finish each task. There must be some visuals in the lesson. All papers that need copied must be given to me by Friday April 2.

Presentation Day As a group you will be required to teach for the entire 40 minutes. During this time the class must remain under-control, group must stay on topic, and it must be educational. Points will be deducted if the class is unruly, the group does not teach their information, the lesson finished too early or is not finished. Homework Assignment After you present your lesson you need to give the students a homework assignment to measure or grow their knowledge. The homework should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. This can consist of a response essay to the lesson, reading on wiki or in the book and answering questions, wiki discussion post, or other creative ideas. These need to be educational focused and able to be graded for correctness not just completion. The homework will be due the day after the lesson is given. The group who assigned the homework then must grade it in addition to their homework that night.

Test Questions Create 15 multiple-choice questions based on the information that you teach in class. Questions and key must be turned in on Friday April 2nd. DO NOT share information with other groups. Thanks!
