Other lessons I planned included things like demonstrations, eating dehydrated food, making planet mobiles, turning the ceiling into the Milky Way Galaxy, doing experiments, reading about orbits, taking quizzes on wipe-off solar system placemats, watching a video on gravity and determining space ages and space weights. The piece of paper that I did all my brainstorming on represents the first step in wholistic planning. I jotted down lessons and activities that integrated a variety of disciplines and teaching strategies, as well as topics that corresponded to the solar system. From this brainstorming, I was able to plan appropriate lessons including all of the characteristics of wholistic planning. As a future teacher, I think wholistic planning is essential in preparing lessons.
Classrooms are havens for diverse learners.
Appropriate teaching strategies are vital to the success of individual learners' needs.
