Each student will be expected to prepare a lesson plan on a topic selected in conjunction with the instructor.

Each student will also be assigned to formally review two lesson plans created by other students.

All lesson plans will be visible to the entire class, who should eventually read all of them.

1. An introduction, covering enough material for the remainder of the plan to be intelligible.
2. A list of possible readings. All readings should be freely available. Sources can include the general internet or any of the books hosted at O’Reilly.
3. A step-by-step lab/assignment to introduce use of the relevant technology, in the style of this.
4. A presentation by the student to the class walking through the introductory document.

All materials for the lesson plan will be posted to the Wiki of this project.

• Students who have never used the CS Dept git-community will need to log into it before they can be added to the project. Email me after doing so, and I will add you to the project.

1.1 Reviews

Each student will also be assigned to formally review two lesson plans created by other students. This review will entail

1. Critiquing the introductory document and choice of readings.

   Reviewers may choose to divide their critiques into portions sent to the instructor and portions made directly accessible to the lesson plan author.

   • Portions to be sent to the instructor can be prepared in any document format and emailed to the szeil@odu.edu.
   • Portions to be made directly accessible to the author, in particular, grammar & wording corrections and specific suggestions for immediate improvement, should be posted to the project as Issues.

2. Attempting the lab/assignment, while keeping a log of steps performed and difficulties encountered.

   • The log should be composed as a Wiki page, linked to the bottom of the lab/assignment being reviewed.
   • It is OK if this is grown “in stages”, particularly if difficulties are encountered in following the lab/assignment steps.
