Lesson+Builder+Blog

I have no experience as a teacher, therefore all of this was very new to me. I was completely confused as to what kind of lesson I wanted to create. It hit me out of nowhere. I used to play this hidden object game, Prime Suspect. I wanted to be consistent with our group project and stay with 5th grade. I researched the TEKS website and found that prime numbers fall under 5th grade. I thought it would be fun to build a lesson based off of this game. My goal was to have the students work out different equations and the end result will be a prime number. On each level, there will be different school scenarios with random numbers. For example, the gym will have students in basketball jerseys with numbers and the scoreboard will have numbers. The students will have to locate the prime number they worked out from the equation in order to move forward. The lesson builder website helped me develop the lesson plan I wanted. The template was a great help! I understand what teachers have to go through for each lesson! Teaching is very hard work and I respect all involved.

I was able to recognize the Recognition, Strategic, and Affective Networks right away in my lesson. Once everything is thought out completely, it is very easy to develop the lesson. The examples in the lesson builder also helped me develop many interactive lessons with the students. Like I said before, I do not have experience with teaching, but I know what I had to sit through years ago and it was nothing fun!
