SIOP+Lesson+Plans+information

While searching I found a useful bit of information to help in distinguishing the difference between content and language objectives in your lesson plans. I also thought is may be good to include a link to a simple example of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy

__**Useful and interesting educational term dictionaries:**__ Family Dictionary of Education Terms 2nd Edition 2010-2011 Lexicon of Learning Glossary LD Online Glossary of language-teaching terms <--Good for writing lesson plans

Examples: This plan combines daily lessons for the week instead of doing each lesson individually (saves paper).

**While I was looking at objectives for a lesson today I realized that our collaborative group activities that we are doing will also focus on a good portion of the Guidance objectives. __NOTE__: I tried to go through and remove objectives that wouldn't really be touched on in the activities. **
