Lesson Plan
Alabama Learning Exchange ALEX


Notes: (* Lesson components with an asterisk are required. Exceptions are the Content Standard if the lesson addresses a local or national standard not addressed by a state content standard and Technology Resources Needed if none are needed.)

*Title:
(May be plain or catchy; but being clear, descriptive, and specific will help in keyword searches.)

*Annotation
(A three-to-five sentence description of the lesson. Your annotation may describe the primary nature (such as hands-on, inquiry, technology-based, project, lecture), whether interdisciplinary or single-subject, and/or its relationship to other lessons (such as part of a unit, follows or precedes another submitted lesson, remediation or extension of another submitted lesson, embedded credit reference.)

*Content Standards:
(One or more of Alabama's course of study content standards. The content standard stem and bullets would be included, although the bulleted format need not be retained. A lesson may address a single content standard, a portion of a content standard, two or more content standards from the same subject area, or content standards from two or more subject areas.)

*Local/National Standards:
(Place a standard here if the lesson addresses a standard NOT addressed by a state content standard. (State content standards reflect national standards, but some specific detail may not be addressed. Local standards may go beyond state or national standards.)

*Primary Learning Objective(s):
(The concept, knowledge, skill, or application students can demonstrate at the lesson's completion. This may be the same as or very similar to the content standard; however, it could be narrower or perhaps broader.)

Additional Learning Objective(s):
(These may be incidental, related outcomes that are not assessed; they may be smaller steps students need to take to lead to the Primary Learning Objective; or they may be broader objectives that extend beyond the scope of the lesson but that the lesson partially addresses (e.g., critical thinking).

*Total Duration:
(The anticipated time of the entire lesson (including assignments and assessment) stated in hours and minutes.)

*Materials and Equipment:
(Those required by teacher and/or students, with pertinent notes to guide preparation or other special instructions needed such as safety considerations. Please list technology items in the next field.

Technology Resources Needed:
(Required if technology is used in the lesson by teacher and/or students)
1.                 2.

*Procedures/Activities:
(A clear, succinct description of the activity. It may be divided into steps or sections. If distinctly different materials, resources, or web links are used in different portions of the lesson, place these into steps or sections. You may estimate time needed for separate steps or sections.) For example:
          Step 1
          (Write the steps of the procedure as clearly as possible and include good 
          details.)

          

          Estimated duration:

          Lesson Materials to be attached
          (Write a brief description of the attachment; i.e. video clip, handout, 
          activity, etc.)

         

           Web Links Title (List the title of the website.)
         

          URL (Copy and paste the World Wide Web address here.)
         

           Web site Annotation (Write a brief description of the website. Add 
          additional links if needed.)

         

*Assessment:
(This may simply indicate the type of assessment most appropriate, or provide sample questions or entire tests or rubrics.)

Extension: (Optional)
(Explain how the lesson might be modified for students who already know or can do the Primary Learning Objective, such as activities that apply the concept to new content.)

Remediation: (Optional)
(Explain what may be done for students who need extra preparation before or extra assistance after the lesson.)

Accommodation: (Optional)
