One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

Lesson Plans
The following lesson page shows my process in selecting a lesson plan and modifying it to best serve the students and to adequately cover the corresponding ALCOS Standards. I chose a lesson from the Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX), and changed it to better incorporate technology. I also evaluated each ALCOS standard to select which ones actually related to the activities. Scroll through the slide show to see full explanations of the strengths and weaknesses, along with the rationale behind the changes I made. The link to the original lesson plan is provided.
Why I Chose This Lesson
1. Incorporates all learning styles.
2. Includes some form of assessment.
3. Engages the students.
Gaps/Weakesses of this Lesson
1. Lack of group work
2. Not all ALCOS Standards connect to lesson objective
3. Lack of technology
