I will share one example of a lesson plan I really like.
It is called, "Teaching with Documents: U.S. Constitution Workshop."
Includes:
1. Lesson Plan.
2. Links to government website where you can print out documents to do with the lesson.
3. Vocabulary List.
4. Tells you the amount of time to prepare and the amount of time the lesson will take.
My absolute favorite feature of this program:
- The Calendar!
It has historic events listed on every single day of each month, with a correlating lesson plan. For example: On March 3, Alexander Graham Bell was born. Suggested Lesson plans are "Inventor" or "Telephone."
My Overall Thoughts:
While this is an amazing resource for teachers, it is a bit overwhelming for me as a homeschooling mother. I am not sure if I would spend the money for this. It is, however, a great product and would certainly benefit teachers in general.
