formation.
SESSION PLAN
ESTIMATED Why will this
CONTENT/SKILL STRATEGY/PROCESS
TIME strategy/process be
TO BE COVERED TO BE USED
NEEDED effective for this content?
OPENING ACTIVITY/INTRODUCTION
This strategy will help
students remember and
Moments 10 min. Rainbow Brain Dump organize all info on
moments before we start
working problems.
MAIN ACTIVITY/ACTIVITIES
This strategy will get
students up to the board
Pass the Problem
2D Moments 10 min. and more involved to
(Pr. 1)
start with this fairly new
material
This strategy will work
well with 3D moments
Summarizing the Steps
3D Moments 10 min. because they are more
(Pr. 2)
complicated and have
more steps than 2D
This strategy will help
students
compare/contrast
Vector Formation vs. Team Teach
15 min. methods by having
Scalar Formation (Pr. 3)
different groups use
different methods to
achieve the same answer
CLOSING ACTIVITY - CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING
A 5 minute quiz will allow
students to determine how
familiar they are with the
Moments 5 min. Informal Quiz material on their own, and
whether they are on pace
with the course
Be sure to submit worksheet(s), sample problems used,
or other preparation materials with this session plan.
