Seminar 2 is designed to allow students to discuss and rehearse their ideas for classroom
presentation in order to receive constructive feedback. To that end, each student is asked to
develop and bring to seminar outlines for two lesson plans for two thirty-minute lessons that
describes the activities they will complete at their community site for two groups: young
children age 5 to 9 and older children age 10 to 15. The written lesson plans must include the
following four components: Program goals and objectives; Presentation topics and outline;
Audiovisuals and handouts; and Assessment of program success.
After the seminar, students will finalize their lesson plans with their specific student
group for classroom activities prior to attending the school visits.
