Part of Lesson Plan: Long term planning for SAE programs.

Activity Overview / Details

First, have students share their Year 1 plan in pairs with the eventual goal of every student sharing their SAE plan with the class. The student who listens must be challenged to provide feedback so as to improve the overall SAE plan. Examples of questions they might ask include the following, "How can that part be improved?" "Have you thought about ___?" . When one student is done sharing, have them reverse roles. All students should end up having been heard once by their peers in this format. Once that has been completed, deliver expectations for the whole-class share out (if you aren't the speaker, you listen; offer helpful feedback only; think of ways to improve yours as your peers share; etc.). Ask for volunteers to come to the front of the class and share their plan. Once you're done with volunteers, have the rest of the class share in a similar format. Guide the class through the share-out process, ensuring every student has a thoroughly designed SAE plan. When done, congratulate them on completing one of their first public speaking experiences in your class! Also, reward their diligent work on creating a thoughtful blueprint for their SAE success! If time is still left in the period, transition into recordbook basics. Now that we've developed our SAE plan, let's look at a tool we will use to guide and record information as we make that plan come to life...
