 You’re in luck!!!! I’ve got you so set up with this supposed blank powerpoint. You just have to create all the resources that you will handout link to or require in some other way for teaching, practice and assessment.  You may not use the resources I used in the plan itself. What you use to teach, practice and test can be inspired by my resources, but may not actually BE my resources. OK?  You will want to provide definitions of all key terms in the “warm up”, “teaching”, and ASSESSMENT pieces.  You do not have to keep the theme or look of this powerpoint as it is now. You may personalize/customize it as you see fit to. Just make sure it is easy to read, understand for ANYONE.  You have to use your own work – remember, you can use the pieces you created for the Pick 2 & Pick 5 sheets, as well as what you did for the Pair Project.  You may take all suggestions ro disregard them all and go about this however you want to.  If you include a structured lesson plan with the Powerpoint, you DOUBLE YOUR GRADE (2 A’s). NICE!!!
