Lesson Plan

I struggled keeping my lesson plan short and to the point. I kept thinking about all of the cool things I could do with different parts of a lesson, but had a hard time getting them to fit together. I ended up creating a lesson plan teaching the process of creating a law. I tried to make it an interactive lesson and make it really personal to the students. My rationale for this was because I think that many times with government, students learn about it without realizing the impact the process has on their lives. Growing up, I never really understood the effects that the government had on my life. I knew that they ran the country and made laws and kept us safe, but I never really grasped the meaning of it. It really was something that we just learned about in school. So this became my inspiration for this interactive and personal lesson plan. By having the students use this process in their classroom for their own rules makes it more real in a way I think. All in all I found this assignment a challenge. Looking back, I see one major flaw within my lesson plan, and that is to not incorporate the judicial branch into the project! Uh-oh :(
