UDL_Lesson_Plan

This is the first complete lesson plan I have ever created. The UDL Lesson was frustrating as I didn’t have a background to base it on and this was my first exposure. However, once I focused my topic and did some research on the topic I was able to piece together a lesson plan I felt pretty good about. I was especially intrigued by integrating and identifying the recognition, strategic, and affective networks of the brain (Cast). I believe that identifying each of these is key to implementing a complete lesson plan. I did have some problems identifying each in the lesson plan, but it did get easier. I do agree with Molly that incorporating the four planning stages identified by Pitler (p. 221) allow for a more complete picture. Needless to say I am learning more and more. I do believe that I have the tools to allow me to create a lesson plan that can accommodate the different learners I will be exposed to.
