This Prezi relates to an incident several years ago. I was just outside my local public library after checking out Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great, and Sam Harris' The End of Faith. All of these books are critiques of religion. While outside waiting for my mother to come pick me up, a wandering proselytizer inquired as to whether I had accepted Jesus as my savior. I was taken aback by this question: it seemed to me profoundly ironic. Dramatically ironic, as I figured it. I had constructed a story of my life wherein the expected ending differed from what actually occurred. We make stories all the time, mostly about ourselves.

Instructional Procedures/Steps: Talk about stories. Ask how narratives are important to have ready for the lesson. Whenever your lesson involves outside/supplementary materials, e.g., charts, poems, stories, song lyrics, articles, advertisements, cartoons, overheads, video clips, audio clips, etc., these materials should be listed here and copiesstudents' lives. Give examples of these materials should be attached to the plan as an appendix. If you are using video or audio clips, you should submit these with your plan. Also, include any sources you, as the teacher, consult for crafting your plan, especially those which might inform the teachingimportance of content and/or the methods and strategies you employ. This demonstrates your understanding of and abilitystories to apply and adapt course texts and other resources.
*NOTE: While drafting your lesson plans, you may find it easier to include the objectives and materials required sections at the end of each plan since these are not the places you are typically starting with in developing a plan. If so, just move these to this position when you compose your final draft.
Instructional Procedures/Steps: These should begin with a brief bridge or introduction and end with a closure section which, together, establish the context for the day’s lesson and/or work towards making the transition from day to day of the unit a smooth progression.
