September 27, 2010 - Lesson Plan: Location and Movement DRAFT
This is a first draft of a lesson plan. It will be the first lesson that I give to my Grade 8 practicum class in October. It includes some thought questions, a review of a simple grid system, and introduces the Cartesian coordinate system and associated terminology, and includes a Battleship game that reinforces the lesson.

October 4, 2010 - Physics Microteaching Assignment
This is a more simplified lesson plan that I completed for a microteaching assignment for my Physics Core Curriculum class. I would like to include it on this page to be used as an example of a bare-bones lesson plan. This is the PowerPoint presentation to be used with the lesson. A video link is embedded, but not the video itself, in order to make the file smaller for ease of upload.
