OVERVIEW
Lesson planning is a key aspect of effective instruction. Lesson planning ranges from long-term planning (such as yearly or unit planning) to short-term planning (such as weekly or daily planning). For this assignment, you will write a daily lesson plan for one grade level in elementary school withasocial studies focus.

INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain your plan focuses on the development of a skill, not the acquisition of facts. In other words, don't write a lesson to help learners memorize the states' capitals, the names of major latitude/longitude lines, etc. Instead, design opportunities for skills development such as calculating distances using a scale, interpreting different landmarks using legends, identifying elevations using topography, interpreting/identifying proper cardinal directions to specified locations, etc. Get Assignment help now!
