Class Practice 1

Sample from “The U.S.A. Customs and Institutions” by Ethel Tiersky and Martin Tiersky (Longman 2001).

Work in groups to fill out the lesson planning sheet for this particular lesson.

We will share them as a class.

Personal Lesson Planning

Take a chapter, concept, or already made lesson of your own and see if you can create a lesson plan (or “beef up” your existing one) using Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Please ask for questions/advice.

Feel free to make more than one lesson plan if you have time—remember, this is something you can take back with you and use!

Afterwards, we will share our lessons in our groups.
