Welcome to the Lesson Plans page

Oh my, lesson plans. What a pain they can be at times. Teachers and administrators have all sorts of different ways of dealing with lesson plans. Some administrators that I've had never look at them and just assume that you, as a professional, are doing your lesson plans and not just breezing into class and winging it. One administrator that I had at the beginning of my career insisted that your plans be completed before you left school on Friday afternoon - the plans had to be in her box and beware if they weren't.

The internet is full of lesson plans of various styles: some plans are created by teachers and are free; others are created by businesses and have to be paid for; and some others are created by non-profits and are free. For the immediate future, I'm going to go slow and post my social studies outline for the term so that my students can access it. I'll eventually add links to sites that have free plans for a variety of subjects. I also plan on posting some of my technology plans and math plans, but I have to work out some technical details first. If you have plans that you would like to share, let me know and I'll put a link here to your site.

Links to Sites with Lesson Plans

holder All About Me, is a great little lesson to get kids started on using the internet. It's quite cute (usually I hate cute stuff) and easy and fun for the kids to do. You can even use this with kids who are experienced with using the web as an icebreaker on the first day. I think that I'll do this with my 5/6 class next month on the first day. This is another lesson from those Seattle folks.

holder Ancient History Lessons, has a collection of lessons for students who are studying ancient history. Included are lessons about Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, and other ancient cultures.

image EconEdLink|NetNewsline|Take A Risk on Investor Island (PartII), is the second part of a three part lesson for middle school students on investing. This is a very useful lesson if you are teaching economics to your students.

holder Forest Hills Middle School Computer Lessons, has a collection of lessons aimed at Middle School students about PowerPoint, databases, spreadsheets, web pages, multimedia, word processing, and more . I'll be looking at these for use in my classes.

holder Judy Decker: Incredible Art Education Resources, has lesson plans for art teachers. These include plans that integrate art and social studies.

holder M&M Lesson, is a math/technology lesson by Susan Hymel that demonstrates how fractions are changed to percents and the reverse. It uses Excel spreadsheets and graphs. This is for Grade 7.

holder Pics4Learning - Tech4Learning, has a variety of lesson plans for science, language arts, social studies, and math.

holder Stocks Quest: A Global Stock Market Game, is an excellent game which I have already listed on the economics page, but since I have just spent a term using this game with my Middle School students, I felt that it should be placed here so that everyone who is teaching math or economics can use it. There is a complete set of lesson plans to go with this fascinating game which integrates social studies, math and technology.

holder Word Processing, is a teacher's site for his Sixth Grade technology students. The page has links to four different assignments based on word processing, formatting, etc.

Original Lesson Plans

holder EconEdLink, is produced by the National Council on Economic Education. It has some excellent lessons on economics for elementary, middle and high school students.
