I would like information on creating lesson plans. I am a Social Studies Education student in Georgia. I know I'm going to have to create my own lesson plans. I would like information on websites or books that will give me the information I need to create my own effective lesson plans. Think "beginner." Thanks for your help.

Go to the Education Library on your campus. They'll have lots of resources relating to lesson planning, and probably some workbooks with sample lesson plans you can copy and fill in yourself. However, this sort of thing should be covered in the part of your program that deals with curriculum and/or classroom management. I'm sure your profs will have lots of good info for you when the time comes. Keep the following things in mind when making your lesson plans:
WHAT are the learning objectives of the lesson?
HOW will the students meet the objectives?
WHO will complete the activities?
WHEN will they do the work?
WHY are they doing this activity / learning this information?
Example:
WHAT - write a letter to the editor about a current event
HOW - read an example letter, write a draft, submit the draft for peer editing, write a good copy
WHO - students will work independently and then peer-correct the drafts
WHEN - ten minutes to read the example, thirty minutes to write the draft, twenty minutes to peer edit, good copy for homework due tomorrow
WHY - learning the format of a personal letter and develop persuasive writing skills
It is also good to have a section of your lesson plan that deals with anticipated problems and how you will deal with them. At the end of your lesson plan you should have space to record whether the lesson was successful and what you would change next time. Then, file the lesson plan for future use.

I am studying to be an elementary teacher and I recently got a book that goes over lesson plans and classroom management among other things. The book is called "The Best Beginning Teacher Experience"
Author: Sharon A. Kortman & Connie J. Honaker
ISBN#: 0-7872-8170-0
I bought this book on half.com, I don't think I paid a lot for it.
Good luck :o)

This is the one I was required to go by when I was in college. It's very thorough (not for everyday use once you're on your own), but great for writing up formal lesson plans. This breaks it down pretty well I think.

Try any of these websites. Also, teacher's edition textbooks (the ones printed w/in the last 10 years) should have lp's for e/chapter and the repective frameworks/benchmarks each activity targets. Hope this helps! Good luck!
