Lesson Plan Details:

Write a detailed outline of your class session including your participatory methods,
instructional strategies, learning tasks, key questions, key transitions, student supports,
assessment strategies, and conclusion. Your outline should be detailed enough that another
teacher could understand the instructions enough to use them. Include what you will do as a
teacher and what your students will be doing during each lesson phase.
*Note: the statements and scaffolding questions in red below are meant to guide your
thinking and planning. You do not need to answer them explicitly or address each one in
your plan.
Lesson Purpose: This lesson is the beginning of our mental health unit. It will cover the first half of our
mental health notes and the first half of the self-esteem workbook. The purpose is to help
the students know and understand the basic ways of building self-esteem, as well as
learning the beginning mental health knowledge.
