Preschool Lesson Planning

Name:____________________ Date:_____________________ Subject: Child Development Professor: Mrs. Dabrowski Introduction: We have been learning the steps involved in creating well-planned, enriching and effective lessons for our upcoming preschool students. In this exercise you will use selected online resources to help you create a lesson of your own. Task: Your task is to select a topic or theme, and then plan an appropriate lesson for our preschool students. Process: Step 1: Using the link below, Story Time Search Engine, search for topics and themes that you may be interested in teaching our preschool students. Make sure to consider the developmental stages we have discussed in class to help you decide on an appropriate topic. Step 2: Once I have approved your topic, it's time to plan for your lesson. Use the lesson plan template I provide for you as a guide. Use the Story Time Search Engine to help you come up with materials and creative activities to include in your lesson. Complete all items of the lesson plan template. Step 3: Carefully review your lesson plan to ensure that your objectives are met and that all items are complete. Make sure to include in the resources section of the lesson plan specific links where you found useful information. Submit your completed lesson plan. Resources: For this project all of the resources you need can be found using the Story Time Search Engine. This search tool searches only valued and trusted sites for this project. http://rollyo.com/giddylibrarian/story_time/ Story Time Search Engine Evaluation: Your completed lesson plan will be evaluated for thoroughness, creativity, completeness and appropriateness for our intended audience. Conclusion: You will use your completed lesson plan to guide you in teaching your lesson to our preschool students when they begin our program next month. The effort and planning you put in now will surely pay off then! :)
