I'll skip the boring details, but in a couple of weeks, I need to present a lesson plan (and perhaps do a little bit of teaching) of an aviation ground school subject to a classroom of education students (mostly female, ages 18-20.)
The lesson plan will follow the typical Hunter model, which is:
1) Anticipatory Set – Getting students ready and/or excited to accept instruction. (Please note that giving directions may be part of the procedural dialog of a lesson, but in and of themselves directions are NOT an Anticipatory Set !!!!! The key word here is "anticipatory" -- do something that creates a sense of anticipation in the students -- an activity, a game, a discussion, view a film or video clip, field trip, reflective exercise, etc.. )
2) Stated Objectives – Letting students know where they are going.
3) Input Modeling/Modeled Practice – Making sure students get it right the first time by showing and demonstrating.
4) Guided Practice - Making sure students have it right! Can they replicate what you want them to do?
5) Independent Practice - Doing it by themselves.
6) Closure - Bringing it all to a close - one more time. What did they accomplish? What did they learn?
I'd rather not bore them, so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to a ground school lesson topic (maybe instrument, but preferably PPL to keep things simple) that a non-aviation person might actually find interesting.
