Curriculum Plan Reflection

     This was by far the most stressful and difficult assignment in this course. It was a challenge to consider how each and every content area for a grade band fits into one another and how you might choose to teach each one. When you are trying to write individual lesson plans on a specific topic it can sometimes be difficult to know what to include and what to leave out. However, after completing this assignment it gives me a better idea of how lesson planning will go when I have an actual teaching position. I think that it will be much easier, not only in math but in all content areas, to lesson plan when you have at least a general idea of how the entire year will play out. Not only knowing what students need to cover on a yearly basis, but knowing what they have covered and what you are leading them up to will aid in a better understanding of what you need to cover specifically. This project gave me a glimpse of what it takes to plan for students learning long term and how important it is to communicate with teachers at all grade levels to know what they are covering as well.
