All members of class will also evaluate your overall class participation. This is an opportunity for you to practice teaching. After you have observed several teachers in your discipline, you will present two 15-minute lessons to your classmates. Your teaching will be videotaped and we will review both tapes to encourage you to reflect on and learn from the experience. These videotaped lessons may become a part of your unit plan.
Most teachers organize topics into units.
Sometimes these last a week, sometimes a month. I am asking that you choose a hefty unit for this assignment. Assume that you will use about 10 class meetings over a 2-week period. I expect you to incorporate a variety of techniques and assignments and to include a plan to evaluate students learning. The plan should be detailed, and should include a chronological description, time allocated to each activity, outlines of lectures and demonstrations, detailed descriptions of activities for students, copies of readings, questions for discussion, etc.
