Lesson Plan

 

Step 1: Distribute the Action Plan and Vocabulary Handout.

·         The Action Plan lays out a list of tasks for students to complete during the lesson.

·         The Vocabulary Handout is a list of terms used throughout the lesson.

Step 2: Students should read individually or discuss the content as a class.

·         The content provides an outline of automotive information and functions.

Step 3: Students should begin the Task Sheet.

·         The task sheets allow students to implement hands-on learning to showcase automotive skills.

·         Task sheets can be accessed in the Instructional Materials section and completed two ways. Students can use a printed version, which would be physically turned in upon the student’s completion of the task sheet. Additionally, students can use an interactive/fillable version, which would be downloaded by students, filled out and uploaded into the Interactive Assignments section upon the student’s completion of the task sheet.

·         For task sheet naming structures, use the Task Sheet Student Handout.

Step 4: Administer the Check for Understanding.

·         The Check for Understanding is a short review of the content presented in the lesson.
