Assessment - Learning Plan

In pairs, you will work together to develop learning plans to introduce children to a topic in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. This assessment will help you to practice collaboration skills in creating lessons.

Important points
Although you will be working in pairs, you will need to submit individual assignments.

Your lesson plans will be similar however they may not be exactly the same, and they need to be written using your own words.
If there are uneven numbers in your tutorial group, one group will have a trio.
Speak to your tutor about how to create your pairing. You can choose your pair, or the tutor will randomly select another person for you.
Digital and multimodal learning needs to be included in the plan. Not all learning plans require digital inclusion, however it must be included in at least ONE lesson plan. There are many creative ways to have digital inclusion in a lesson. Digital inclusion can include things such as children watching a YouTube video, children listening to a story from a website or podcast, children using an iPad, children recording their answers and thoughts on a recording device etc. Need Immediate Assignment Help?

Learning Plans
You will create a total of 3 learning plans.
The word count for this assignment is 1800 words.
You must ensure that your learning plans integrate a MINIMUM of 2 different subject areas per learning plan. Although not compulsory, try and make sure you use all the different subjects at least once. You will naturally use one subject area a couple of times, or multiple times, in this assignment. For example, if you integrate mathematics and art in one learning plan, try and integrate science and engineering for learning plan two. Lesson plan three may then integrate technology, mathematics and engineering etc.
The integration of the different subject areas should be authentic. Do not force the integration of subjects if there is no natural fit.
