Social Studies Visual Learning Tool

This handout on Social Studies: family genealogy will benefit the students as it is a guide to them fully understanding what exactly a family tree should look like and what a family tree entails. Indeed, a classroom has different types of learners. In this instance, the teacher would be able to incorporate the visual and tactile learners' needs within the lesson. The handout will be a follow up on the content that will be given at the end of the lesson. Following will be a blank sheet of the same handout that the students would take home to create their own personalized family tree. This would include for them to do research on their own family thus they would have an even greater understanding of the family genealogy.
Challenges were very few when it came to this topic and visual learning tool. This steamed from prior knowledge and the group members' assistance of the topic and how to use Microsoft word processing.

Why is it important for teachers to adequately prepare for each lesson?

1. 1.      Why is it important for teachers to adequately prepare for each lesson?
   It is important for teachers to adequately plan for each lesson so that he/ she will always know what comes next thus, they would not be easily side-tracked. You cannot get anywhere unless you know exactly where you’re going. In light of this, your expectations of what you intend the students to learn and the objectives at the end of the lesson are clear. You have a clear cut idea of what the student is capable of learning and as the teacher he/ she should plan for each intended lesson.
   2.      Why do you think every educator should write lesson plans even though you may have taught the lesson many times over?
   Every educator should write lesson plans even though you may have taught the lesson many times over because the teacher could use many approaches to the same material and it needs to be recorded for future reference. Also, it is crucial for the teacher to know what was taught and how it was taught at a later date.
