Throughout my courses at Dakota State University, I have created lesson plans for many of my classes. Some of these lessons I have had the opportunity to teach, while others I have created but not implemented. Below are some of the lesson plans that I have created along with my reflection on the lesson. To see the actual lesson, please click on the blue link.
I created this lesson during my K-8 Reading Methods course and delivered it for my field experience at the Flandreau Elementary School. This lesson is very detailed and scripted as the professor wanted us to be well prepared for our first time teaching real students. While developing this lesson, I learned just how much planning goes into one lesson. Picking a standard, finding a book to go with it, deciding what skill to work on, and creating an assessment all took a lot of time and planning. When it came to delivering the lesson, I was very glad the teacher had us be so detailed in our planning as it made me feel well prepared for my first time teaching actual students.

In my Writing Methods class, I designed a lesson over a writing standard that incorporated a mentor text. When creating this lesson, I wanted to make sure to find a text that incorporated most of the things I was trying to emphasize with adding dialogue. It was a little challenging and took some research, but I eventually found one that worked great! I was also able to find a video of the book being read on Youtube so the voices made it more interesting and engaging. One thing I was concerned about what how long this would take, so I made sure to have multiple examples ready if I needed them.

This is a lesson that I designed for my K-8 Social Studies Methods Course. It is a lesson that I did not deliver to actual students, but to virtual reality students in the VALE. Since this was not delivered to a real class, I had to think about what expectations I would have for these students and put them into my lesson plan to try to ensure that things would run smoothly. When deciding on a standard, I had to think about what words would work well for the activity of filling out a Frayer model.
