Lesson Abstracts

Lesson abstracts should include the following components:

1. Essential understanding of lesson (major concept/s)

2. Knowledge and/or skills included in the lesson that will assist students in reaching understanding

3. Connection to previous learning

4. General teaching strategy

5. Approach(es) to inquiry (as this applies)

Note: The final sequence of abstracts provided in the unit plan should provide a picture to a reader of how the lesson sequence will build students' conceptual understandings.
