Lesson Plan Guidelines and Ideas
Please feel free to use lesson sequence or as a guideline, hopefully these lesson plans will help structure upcoming lessons. Throughout this course framework it has a strong emphasis on student centred learning. Global Environments: Rainforest lesson revolve around rotation groups, and students sharing their learning and findings with the class. Personally I believe in guiding students learning rather than traditional direct teaching methodologies. To a certain degree direct questioning techniques were unavoidable, these technique were solely used as an indicator for teachers to identify students learning progress.

Lesson 3 to 8: Students are more than familiar with group work. Teacher integrated a Workstation Instruction Manual for students to refer to for instructions for each set Task. Teacher integrates a jig saw learning, Cooperative learning, discussions, and student research teaching strategies, where students initiate their own learning and share their findings with the class. Teacher acts more as a facilitator to assist students in their learning. Students will be divided into smaller groups and each workstation is designed to cover different aspects of their HSIE topic.

Lesson 8: Final lesson for Stage 3: Global Environments - Rainforest topic. Upon closure for this lesson, teacher evaluates each students understanding over this course framework through providing a knowledge test about 'Rainforest'. Students will have 20 minutes to complete examination, this serves as an indicator for teacher to identify and compare their learning progress from lesson 1. Teacher implements a more teacher centred direct approach.
