Water Safety Instructor - PE 243 Lesson Plan Format for LGIs

You will be given 3 teaching assignments. Each lesson you teach needs to be well-planned so that every student is safe and you are effective.

You need to consider each of the following points.

• what you are going to teach (content)
• how you are going to present it
• how your students will hear, see, and practice it (class organization)
• what steps you'll take to ensure your students remember it (cue words, evaluation, association)
• what common mistakes they are likely to make and how you can help them prepare to avoid those mistakes and catch them early.
• what questions they are likely to ask you so you are prepared with answers and might even cover it before they ask.
