Lesson+Plan+Directions

One of the requirements of the Teaching American History grant is the development, use, observation, and reflection on a lesson plan developed by a Teaching American History grant Fellow, or a partnership of two Teaching American History grant Fellows. The lesson plan is to be developed and used during the 2010-2011 school year. Lesson plans will be posted for access by other Nature Coast Teaching American History Grant Fellows.

The ultimate goal of the lesson plan is to have teachers conduct original research in order to develop a deeper understanding of specific topic during the project year, and then to present the lesson, and reflect on it. It is encouraged that, if possible, another Fellow will observe the lesson, providing feedback and reflection on improvement and fine-tuning.
