To complete this assignment you’ll need to:

1. Review the lesson plan template and lesson plan samples to make sure you’re familiar with the template’s format and usage

💡 Tips

Here are some additional notes to keep in mind:

• Since completing the high-level outline may require more thought than the earlier parts of the template, you might find it easier to complete those other parts for all of the lessons first before returning to create the outlines.
• Remember, when building the high-level outlines for your lessons, you can draw inspiration from the lesson archetypes you learned.
