Lesson Plan. You have two parts to this assignment. Use One Document to submit.

1) Create a lesson plan using the attached lesson plan template.

2) Answer the questions given in the attached Lesson Plan Assignment using your created lesson plan information.

Overview: An underlying goal of EDU220 Educational Psychology is to facilitate an understanding of the theoretical rationale for effective pedagogy. In particular, this course examines three broad topics that are fundamental to teaching. The course progresses from discussions of abstract theoretical concepts to observations of these concepts in authentic settings. The next natural step in this progression is the application of theory to actual lesson plans from specific content areas and developmental groups.

What are my tasks for this assignment?
1. Select an existing lesson plan from your developmental group and content area. Please note that you will be assessed on your evaluation of the lesson plan. You will not be assessed based on which lesson plan you select.
2. Evaluate your selected lesson plan. You will evaluate the lesson plan based on the extent to which it facilitates students’ cognition (i.e. their ability to process information), supports motivation, and integrates assessments. For each of these three topics, you will address the below questions.

Topic #1: How Do Students Think and Learn?
1. How does the lesson plan support student’s thinking and learning?
2. How would you modify the lesson plan to better support student’s thinking and learning?
Make sure to reference each of these theories in either or both of your responses to questions one and two:
1. Piaget’s Theory or Vygotksy’s Theory
2. Intelligence Theories or Growth Mindset
3. Metacognition or Self-Regulated Learning
4. Concept Attainment or Conceptual Change
Topic #2: What Motivates Students?
1. How does the lesson plan support/address students’ motivation?
2. How would you modify the lesson plan to better support/address students’ cognition?
Make sure to reference at least two motivation theories in either or both of your responses to questions one and two.
Topic #3: How to Assess Student Progress?
1. How does the lesson plan assess student learning? To what extent do you think the assessment is valid and reliable? Please justify your answer.
2. How would you modify the lesson plan to better assess student learning? Why do you believe the modified assessment is both valid and reliablcixe? Please justify your answer.
