Title of Lesson:
The Key(s) to Happiness
2. How will you know that students got the material? In other words, what
evidence will you see or hear to know your students mastered the objective(s)?
I will know students understood the material if I hear them talking about any real
life experiences that have to do with either meditation, gratitude, acts of kindness,
or exercise, and how they may have related to some type of happiness.
What sequence of learning activities will equip students to achieve the lesson objectives?
Do your best to include time estimates for each part of the lesson/presentation (you will
have a total of 20 min).

Actively listen while I am lecturing, and Tell the students at the beginning to,
ask any questions they may have.
throughout the lecture, be thinking about
how any of the methods may relate to
their lives, someone they knows life, or
anything they have heard from the
media or other sources. Tell the students
that they will be asked to discuss this in
pairs at the end. Also, tell them they can
raise their hand with questions at any
point.

Teachers give detailed instructions on how to carry out lessons (for administrators, substitutes, etc.) Lesson plans
should be clear enough that readers can deliver the lesson as the author(s) has intended. The following page is broken
into two columns; the left column is reserved for teachers to describe exactly what the students will do and the right
column is where teachers describe what they will say and do to support students in carrying out the lesson plan.
