Lesson Plans and Comments |
| |
Lesson plans developed through the FTW Project are posted
here. Many of the lesson plans include some of the supplemental materials,
such as pamphlets or visual aids, that the designers specifically created
for these classes.
In addition, the designer
and a reviewer have added comments about what worked
well and ways to improve the design. You’ll find
these comments following the lesson plan and supplemental
materials.
Note: Most of the lesson plans are zipped Word
documents and need to be unzipped. See more
information at the bottom of this page about
downloading and unzipping these
files.
