Let’s just start with the fact that I haven’t written an original lesson plan since college. With textbooks, internet, and WCPSS C-MAPP, I haven’t seen the need to write my own. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely do a lot of adapting and customizing, but they are not original. With my project, we had (have) to write 2 “full-blown” lesson plans and one demo plan. For my first lesson and the demo, I wrote an original plan that involved the kids creating a test to study how active people are using a Fitbit One, wearable device. This relates to my project because the Ftibit has a sensor and sensors have been a big part of our study. I like my plan because it’s related to a real-life problem that NC has with high levels of obesity in 10-17 year-olds and I figured my 6th graders could relate. I am going to pull-in math with graphing data and data analysis. My demo is related to this lesson, as it has participants wearing a Fitbit during two different exercises to figure out how many active minutes they participate in. My second full lesson will involve the kids learning about nanotechnology and size/scale. This lesson has not been written as of this posting. 🙂
