Typing Lesson

I am studying teaching at university and am writing a lesson plan. It says we need to link the lesson to the curriculum. I was wondering how many do we do? Is there a maximum?

I have been looking in the curriculum framework and there are around ten that link with my lesson. Is this too much?

Thanks

The point of linking curriculum areas is to try and help children join the dots between subjects rather than put sometimes artificial barriers between them. BUT - its really important to only identify the strong links, otherwise you run the risk of just confusing yourself about what the main teaching point is that you’re putting over. For instance - if you are teaching history, may be the Great Fire of London, you will probably have a strong link to literacy if the outcome is written - perhaps an account from a witness or a poem that includes the main facts - both of those will use skills and knowledge from literacy, but the learning objective will be mainly focused on the facts about the event. You might be making a model of a street that you then set on fire (seen it done - kids love it!) so here they’d be using skills from DT, art and possibly maths - measuring etc.

10 links is too many - you won’t be able to reference them all during your lesson without losing the focus of the lesson. Probably 2 or 3 is enough.

Hope that helps!

I have to write a lesson plan for an art class as a college assignment. The last part is called "learning activities." Can someone please tell me what I am suppose to write down here?

The learning activities are the things that the kids actually do to master the concepts and achieve the goals and objectives. They could be anything from songs to worksheets to games to guided art activities to group presentations etc. A good lesson plan will explain how the activities teach the concepts.

I have been looking online via google and I only find sites that give you either adult lesson plans or games for kids. I am mostly looking for ESL lesson plans for kids. Like, ones with objectives and step by step instructions.

Any recommendations?
