This lesson plan demonstrates my development in Professional

Competencies 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 10. After finishing our novel called Copper

Sunrise, I created a lesson plan that had the students participate in a group
discussion about the topic of traditions. Students were encouraged to work
together to fill in the discussion sheet. I personally made the groups, with the
goal of mixing in students of different levels, as well as mixing in students
who normally dont talk to one another (PC 4 and 6). Additionally, students
were assigned roles in their groups. This gave them some responsibility and
encourages them to remain on task (PC 6). The lesson went well and many of
the students were actively involved in the discussion.
The second part of the lesson plan is the introduction of the spirit animal
project. Students are given the task of discovering their spirit animals,
explaining why they think that that animal represents them, explaining the
benefits of having a spirit animal, and providing a drawing or illustration of
their spirit animal. This project allows students to research their spirit
animals (PC 8) incorporate ICT into their learning. Finally, I came up with the
idea of having students discover and write about their spirit animals.
Meanwhile, my cooperating teacher further enhanced my idea of spirit
animals by having the students draw or provide an illustration of their spirit
animals and put it up at the back of the classroom. This cooperatively
developed lesson demonstrates my development of PC 10.
