In my experience writing lesson plans, I generally focus almost entirely on context. Although I was able to organize, in one page, all of the content I thought I would want to know while giving the lesson, I felt as though I would be detracting from it if I tried to fit information on the FPPL, Core Competencies, and Curricular Competencies. As such, I thought it best to have a separate page for this information. In my mind, I would print a single sheet, double-sided.
Maybe this is too much? I hope this layout encourages me to give appropriate consideration to the FPPL and how they each tie into any one lesson.
Lastly, I designed this template with math courses in mind. The sections for Curricular Competencies will be populated appropriately, depending on the Subject being taught.
Thanks Jacob! The two-sided page format is fine -- good idea as a way of including competencies and FPPL in each lesson. As you've said, this is largely a lecture-based lesson with lots of (very interesting) content... but I am concerned that you have not said when or for how long your learners will be involved in think-pair-share and in drawing mandalas, nor what kind of drawing materials you will be bringing for the mandalas. Please be sure to allow adequate time for the participatory part of the lesson! It can be all too easy to lecture right from start to finish, and that is not OK. If you can, please add timings and a sense of what students will be doing and when!
