Opening Activity- Take ten minutes and reflect on your lesson plan, specifically the “action plan” or “activity plan.” Are there any parts that require more detail? For example if you wrote “lecture on biomes (25 minutes)” you do need more detail; a sub can’t follow that plan and it won’t always be clear to you later. Spend ten minutes identifying areas where you can add more detail to your lesson plan; me that self reflection. (10-15 minutes)
