How social studies teachers use this lesson plan

Fill it in for daily lessons, observations or sub plans, and keep a copy in your planning binder. A consistent layout makes it quicker to plan and easier for a substitute to follow. Social studies teachers working on civics, geography and current events can change every word to match the unit.

Ask students to cite where an answer came from in the text. Write the objective in student-friendly words you can say out loud at the start.
