Lesson Plan Idea

I have decided what topic I will do my lesson plan on. It will be on the issue of Copyright and the impact of movie and music downloading.

I would make this lesson plan for a class of year ten students and would focus of the social and economic implications of free movie and music downloading.

I may start with a question to the class; "What is copyright?" or "who here has ever downloaded a movie or music before?" and then go into an explanation into what is copyright, or I may be able to find a short video that describes it.

I would then maybe either move the students into small group, or I may do it as a class discussion on what the students think the problems that downloading illegally may cause.

I would then finish with students either presenting their groups ideas to the class and giving feedback or getting them to write a short Argument as to whether or not they think that downloading is a good or bad thing using the ideas presented in the discussions.

This is only a preliminary idea, I will be making a more firm outline of the goals and tasks of the lesson later.

Lesson plan

I still have yet to decide what to do my lesson plan on. Keeping the topic relevant to the students as well as covering the necessary requirements for the assignment is proving a little difficult for me. I think I will need to take more time to think about it.

I may ask my mentor teacher for some ideas for my lesson plan, she may have some suggestions on what issues in the uses of ICT could be related to the classroom. It is important to be able to relate in the topics back to the students as they learn better when the lessons relate back to their lives'. Once I have began observing some lessons I may acquire some ideas for this assignment.
