19. Questions about Lesson Planning?  How many lessons ahead should I write and plan for?  Calendar overview or outline of the unit  Detailed lesson plans for 3 days at a time  Should every lesson be scripted? Special Format?  No – you may partially script but bullets may be more easy for you to follow as you teach (Format?)  What do I do if I don’t get to the end of what I had planned?  Go into your word document and insert a note that the lesson ran over – indicate your stopping point …. Indicate your review and closing activity  Revise the next days lesson to begin with an opening activity, review etc… and pick up where the previous day’s lesson left off as appropriate  Your work sample lesson plans must reflect what you have done.  How often must I do a reflection?  You must complete a daily reflection for every lesson taught in your work sample unit  In addition, you must send your supervisor a weekly reflection
