Team Learning

During this Unit IP, you will be required to create and conduct a 2-4-hour lesson for one or more adults in a classroom or online course. You may choose to create and conduct a lesson for any type of adult on any topic that you wish.

However, you must plan your time so that the actual administration of the lesson is completed with enough time to be able to address the evaluative areas of the final IP requirements.

Please note: Your lesson must be created and conducted “in real-time,” which means you must actually design and implement in a real setting within the 2-week time frame of this unit. The reality of your project is a critical component for the success of this unit and for future analysis steps to follow.

Some examples of topics include the following:  Starting a memoir  Motivating volunteers for conservation projects in your community  Pumping your own gasoline and paying for it at a convenience store where only English is spoken  Symbols in modern poetry as symbols in your life  Citizen-action groups of your city during World War II  You must consider the specific audience for your lesson.
