Ochre example lesson plans
The following example lesson plans complement a selection of online lessons developed by Ochre Education and AERO. They include guidance on how the lesson was structured and sequenced within the unit and can be used while interacting with the Ochre resources. Examples cover the following subjects:
The plan also allows teachers to see an example of planning for one lesson within a sequence of lessons and reflect on their own planning for effective teaching. The lesson plan is annotated to explicitly show some of the decisions that are made during the planning process.
In addition to these lesson plans, we have also published a series of unit plan examples and editable templates for both unit and lesson plans, based on the format presented in these documents.
