Part 1: Lesson Plan

Teachers engage in a continuous cycle of planning, facilitating instruction, assessing learning, reflecting on the experiences and outcomes. The lesson plan template is the primary tool used in the planning stage.

Using the “Partial GCU Lesson Plan Template,” develop play-based lesson activities. Describe an assessment that aligns to the standards and the lesson objective. Specifically, complete the “I Do,” and “Students Do” sections of Part II, and the “Summative Assessment” section of Part III of the lesson plan.

To help complete this assignment, you may want to review lesson plans online, as teachers regularly share ideas and resources. If you utilize any ideas or resources that are not your own, be sure to give proper credit to the author

In addition, a completed lesson plan is located in the Topic Materials for your reference.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 word reflection, discuss your thoughts on play-based learning. Does this type of engagement influence the social-emotional learning of young children? Does play-based learning enhance learning outcomes? Explain.

Submit both the lesson plan and the reflection as one deliverable.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
