4. Class Practice 1  Sample from “The U.S.A. Customs and Institutions” by Ethel Tiersky and Martin Tiersky (Longman 2001).  Work in groups to fill out the lesson planning sheet for this particular lesson.  We will share them as a class.

5. Personal Lesson Planning  Take a chapter, concept, or already made lesson of your own and see if you can create a lesson plan (or “beef up” your existing one) using Bloom’s Taxonomy.  Please ask for questions/advice.  Feel free to make more than one lesson plan if you have time—remember, this is something you can take back with you and use!  Afterwards, we will share our lessons in our groups.
