What are two or three main things you want them to learn from your
lesson, WRITTEN AS MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVES
Today the students will be able to: Practice using meditation and
mindfulness in a variety of ways. Support/defend their decision to
incorporate meditation in the classroom as future teachers, in a written
assessment.

How will you link the new materials to prior learning? In my first lesson on
Meditation/Mindfulness we watched a YouTube clip and the students
made mind jars. The students will now be constructing their own mind jars
for one of the activities.
What will students do? The students will put their backpacks in the back
corner of the room then they will re-arrange the desks by pushing them to
the sides of the room and leaving a space in the middle for yoga. Next, I
am going to give an introduction on my topic with a 5 minute introduction
powerpoint. Students will then be going to a few different stations I have
prepared with directions and materials and completing the activities. The
lesson will end with the students moving the desks back and taking a seat
for the assessment. Im going to pass out a reflection and they will answer
the ?s, and finally hand them in to me when they are done. If no time-
they will complete them for homework.
