% LESSON OBJECTIVES TABLE
% ----------------------------------------- %
% The lesson objectives table allows you to plan out
% the central "I Can" statements behind your lesson before
% digging into the material. Each element in the table
% should be a single "I ... " statement along with any relevant
% readings or resources and the corresponding lesson components
% which address that topic / objective.
\section{Lesson Objectives}
\textit{
This section outlines the key learning goals that students should achieve by the end of the lesson.
Each objective is aligned with specific lecture components and, where applicable, includes suggested
readings to support learning. These objectives are written from the learner’s
perspective to promote clarity and focus.}

% LECTURE COMPONENTS SUMMARY TABLE
% ----------------------------------------- %
% This table gives a high-level overview of each component
% of the lesson. Each component is a distinct activity,
% transition, or instructional segment within the session.
% Use this table to plan the flow, structure, and
% alignment of your lesson.
\section{Lecture Components Overview}
\textit{
Each lecture component represents a discrete part of the instructional sequence, such as a mini-lecture, group activity, demonstration, or reflection.
This table allows you to organize your lesson into segments, estimate time requirements, choose appropriate modalities, and map each component back to
the lesson objectives.}

% MODALITY VARIETY WORKSHEET
% ----------------------------------------- %
% This is an assessment tool to use to ensure that the
% teaching modalities in use are adequately varied / support a
% diverse set of learning techniques.

% It can be filled out or simply left blank if it
% is not found to be useful.

\section{Modality Variety Worksheet}
\textit{
This worksheet serves as a self-assessment tool to evaluate the diversity and balance of instructional strategies used throughout the lesson. A well-designed lesson typically integrates multiple modalities—such as direct instruction, discussion, and interactive exploration—to address different learning styles and maintain student engagement. Use this space to track which modalities were included, how often, and whether the overall structure provides an adequate variety to support deep learning.}

% LECTURE NOTES

% This is the part of the document where you can write down scratch notes
% and / or problems and solutions that you want to have your students
% work on. Each element of the lesson can appear below if there are specific
% notes for it.
\section{Lesson Notes}
\textit{
This section is intended for detailed instructional notes, including content outlines, blackboard prompts, conceptual questions, problem-solving steps, and student activities associated with each component. Use it to script your lecture, anticipate student responses, annotate key transitions, or document alternative explanations. These notes can also support future lesson revisions, and alignment with assessments.}

% LESSON REFLECTION WORKSHEET
% ----------------------------------------- %
% This is a self-reflective tool for use after the lesson is taught.
% It helps guide post-instruction evaluation and continuous improvement.
% It may also be useful when sharing teaching responsibilities with others.
\newpage
\section{Lesson Reflection Worksheet}
\textit{
Use this worksheet after delivering the lesson to reflect on what worked well, what could be improved, and how effectively the objectives were achieved. This self-assessment supports iterative improvement, pedagogical awareness, and instructional alignment over time.}
