=How do clouds form?=

Summary
I remember in the beginning of class when Professor Lewis said that looking for lesson plans on ERIC web site wouldn’t be that difficult. I actually had a hard time at first. The website is excellent but I had a hard time because the web site wasn’t familiar to me. Even though we had a paper that showed the steps for finding a lesson plan easily, I still had a hard time. I am good with computers but not that great. I also forgot what professor Lewis showed us on the first day.

After a couple of hours looking at ERIC I was able to get the hang of it and I was starting to remember the steps that Professor Lewis explained to us about finding lesson plans.

When I went in to ERIC web site I searched in science lesson plans and then I filtered in lesson plans. I had a couple of listings. I decided to go in to education world because I was familiar with that web site. I wanted to look for a lesson plan that was easily, simple and fun for elementary students. This website had plenty of lesson plans. You need to have an idea of the lesson plan you want because if you don’t you will be lost. I had an idea. The lesson plan that I came across was called how do clouds form? I decided to go with that topic. It seemed like a topic that any child would be interested in.

When I had to do the template, it was the part for me. I had a fun time designing my template. I didn’t have a hard time with it because I took a computer class before and I learned a lot about designing pages. It took me a couple of minutes to choose the bullets and borders and colors. I also did header and footer. After I finished my lesson plan I took a look at it and saw that it looked professional. I was proud of the work that I did. I fit in the lesson plan on to one page because it doesn’t have to be longer then that.

My partner Michelle and I decided that each of us needs to do a lesson plan. After I did my lesson and she did hers we had to decide on which one would be more suitable to present. She looked at my lesson plan and decided that my lesson plan would be the one chosen. We each did our own lesson plan so that it would be fair enough that we both did our own work equally. At first Michelle had a hard time finding a lesson plan just like I did but later on was able to do it.

I am glad that I was able to learn all of this because it is important for teachers to know as many websites ass possible that can help them do their work quickly. ERIC web site will be a site that will be on top of my list. Now I see it as an easy site to access lesson plans. I never really knew that teachers needed to know so much about computers. The good thing about all this is that I can present this work when I go for an interview. I really benefited a lot from this class. It will be

A helpful source in the future. Hopefully when I become I teacher I won’t have a hard time using the site.
