=**//__ Summer 2010 NTTI __//**= =Hello, and welcome to our Wiki page for the development of the Lesson Plan Artifact. Here is the information that you need to get you started:=

=You have chosen to develop a lesson plan to meet the requirement for your participation in WVPT’s National Teacher Training Institute. Following are guidelines and samples to help you as you develop your lesson.= = =

= = ===Submission of lesson idea/outline including SOL and objectives by **__Sunday, June 27__**. ** Submit your lesson idea/outline to the group leaders listed below. ** Feedback will be given by facilitators by Monday, July 4 along with further clarification about the process; i.e. use of higher order thinking skills.===

=== For your lesson idea/outline, you share with us your subject and topic and then the objectives you have for the lesson as well as the SO correlations. Then, justa brief outline of where you plan to go with the lesson. ===

==== Here's an example (Not a great one! You can do better.): Title of Lesson: **Don't Blow Your Top!** Topic and Overview: **Volcanoes and Estimation. Students will explore the three types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite cone. They will participate in making a shield volcano and in an estimation activity about the surface area covered by the ash from a cinder cone volcano.** Objectives: The student will be able to: identify three types of volcanoes describe the characteristics of the three types use estimation to solve problems use latitude and longitude to plot locations on a map ====

SOL: SC 5.1 The student will plan and conduct investigations in which
a) rocks, minerals, and organisms are identified using a classification key; b) estimations of length, mass, and volume are made; c) appropriate instruments are selected and used for making quantitative observations of length, mass, volume, and elapsed time; List other SOL correlations. Outline: Students will watch videos of volcanoes and learn about the different types. They will then construct their own volcano in teams.

Let us know if you have questions, problems, concerns.
