Lesson Plans for Educators

I will be graduating with a Liberal Studies Major. I will hopefully be teaching in September but I have a dilemma, I am afraid of not having enough lessons to get me started. My other fear is not having fun lessons to teach. I work at an Elementary school now and there is a teacher that I work with that doesn't know the meaning of fun activities that can provide great knowledge from them. I will never forget my favorite teacher, Mr. Protho. He loved making our class a fun and exciting place to be. We would do Shakespeare plays throughout the year. He could take any subject and make it fun. Still to this day I call and ask him for advice when making lesson plans for school. There are many resources where one who is becoming a teacher can find. There are books, magazines, in-services, seminars, other people and of course the Internet.

The Internet is something that I was quite afraid of because of the fact that it was foreign to me. New territory is something that frightens me. I have used the Internet for reasons such as research for papers but not for pleasure. I have heard a lot of controversy about the Internet and how people pretend they are someone else and fool children and other people whom they are chatting with. For this reason, I am quite hesitant to try talking to people in the chat rooms. I am hoping that the Internet can provide me with lesson plans and other activities that I can use in the classroom.

Trying to connect to Netscape from home was very difficult. I had many problems connecting and no one to ask. I gave up and ran to school to use the computers there. The computer finally worked at CSUN. I used the engine server named Yahoo. I typed "educational lesson plans". It gave me 33 files. I began searching them to find the one with the most lessons to choose from. The first couple of them were not very helpful. I began to think that this is not going to be easy topic and maybe I should switch topics. But I told myself be patient and continue looking. I finally decided to go around the topic and just type "LAUSD" which gave me the web site. I entered the web site and found a lot of information about the LAUSD system but no lesson plans.

    The seal humans or selkies as they are known are creatures which are mentioned a lot about in Gaelic speaking countries as well as in the Faroes Island and Iceland. It is according to Orcadian belief the selkies were the fallen angels who had been exiled from heaven to earth for an offence that was unknown (Aaltonen 156). The punishment was not as harsh as being exiled to hell, but their punishment was to live in the in the flesh of a seal. The belief people had about turning into a seal was said to be a form of suicide (Aaltonen 156). A selkie can take off its seal skin embracing a human form depending on the time of the tide. Selkies are known to be really attract...

  • The Versatility of the Saxaphone

    1799 Words  | 4 Pages

    I have often read that the saxophone is a “versatile” instrument. Maybe this is because its inventor; Adolph Sax, intended the role of the saxophone to be somewhere in between a loud woodwind instrument and a versatile brass instrument. Indeed even the professor of saxophone at the Paris conservatoire, Claude Delangle, states “What instrument could be better suited than the saxophone, with its variety of forms and cultures, to adapt itself to the expressive devises of the shakuhachi?”1 Delangle is most likely referring to the jazz and dance band cultures that the saxophone has adapted to, not to mention its dominance in gospel, pop, funk and American church music. This seems to suggest that Sax's instrument is somewhat chameleonic, adapting just as easily to changing musical styles as it does to imitating the Japanese shakuhachi2 or the Greek Duduk3. Indeed the saxophone has become an icon of popular culture, making appearances in television shows and cartoons, and being used in experiments of industrial production (Ornette Coleman used a Grafton saxophone which was almost entirely made of white acrylic).

  • Adolphe Sax Research Paper

    587 Words  | 2 Pages

    The saxophone family was invented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1840. Adolphe Sax wanted to create a group or series of instruments that would be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds, and the most adaptive of the brass instruments, that would fill the vacant middle ground between the two sections. He patented the saxophone on June 28, 1846, in two groups of seven instruments each. The series pitched in Bb and Eb, designed for military bands, have proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series (Bloomingdale School of Music). Over the course from birth through the 19th century to the 20th century, the saxophone will have generated much uproar as an instrument for orchestral substitution

  • Government and Politics - Crisis of Development Discourse

    1638 Words  | 4 Pages

    The rise of development theory has been an interesting phenomenon.  In the latter half of the 20th century, many theorists have tried to explain the origins of "under-development."  The debate over the idea of development has been intense, and has led to the emergence of two contending paradigms:  Modernization theory and dependency theory.  Upon close investigation, one realizes that both theories are problematic.  This paper is based on readings of Escobar, Martinussen, Cruise O'Brien, and Pieterse.  The purpose of this paper is to chronicle the origins and growth of development discourse, and to show how both paradigms share three flaws:  an economist approach to social change, and an ethnocentric and teleological worldview of development, and the perceived universal application of the West's development experience throughout the developing world.

    ...ections in a car’s body in white (BIW). Sheet steel blanks are inserted into a press, the outer edge of the sheet is clamped and the sheet stamped between a male and a female die. To obtain a deep section requires extra metal, which is pulled from the clamped region; the part is then described as ‘drawn’. Very deep shapes, such as door inners or spare-wheel wells, are ‘deep drawn’ and require the most formable grades of steel. The higher-strength steel used in modern cars requires presses with higher press forces. Press Hardening, also known as die-quenching, is similar to press forming, but in the press-hardening process the steel is first heated to 9500 C and simultaneously pressed and quenched in the die to produce a very strong martensitic steel. Roll forming is a process where sheet metal is progressively folded to shape through a series of rollers.

    Learning Theories and Instructional Strategies The lessons contained in this unit of instruction were based upon Madeline Hunter’s Seven Steps of Lesson Plan Formatting. This lesson plan format is a proven effective means for delivering instruction. When designing lessons, the teacher needs to consider these seven elements in a certain order since each element is derived from and has a relationship to previous elements. It should be noted that a lesson plan does not equal one class period.

  • Classroom Observation Reflective Essay

    1220 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is one question that I had at the beginning of the school year that I feel I have answered. I kept asking myself if I would be ready to lead a class as a student-teacher by January. I do not know if I will make few or many mistakes, if I will find the experience exhilarating or overwhelming, or if the students will cry or cheer when I leave. I do know that I am ready to try and I will welcome whatever comes in the student teaching experience. I am anxious to implement theory, try out my ideas, and move to the next level of teaching where the stakes, and the pay-offs, are so much greater.
