These are the first two lesson plans I crafted for the Honors 100 class I am prepping to teach this upcoming fall. They ended up being more work than I expected as I juggled introducing necessary curriculum, developing classroom dynamics and community, and keeping activities varied and fun. I was very proud of the results, ultimately, and hope to keep growing and improving as I refine these plans and put them into action this fall. Lesson Plan One: The Honors Curriculum Part One
Goal: To welcome everyone to your cohort! And to understand the elements of the Honors curriculum (instruction, experience & reflection) and how to accomplish these curricular goals (alongside other requirements) in a personally-relevant way before graduation. Supplies:

Classroom Expectations / Housekeeping (5 min - 3:40-3:45)
Icebreaker: Do You Like Your Neighbour? (10 min - 3:45-3:55)

Lesson Plan Two: Connecting With Your Community Goal: to understand the scope of communities available on campus, both through Honors and elsewhere, and to begin to consider how to establish community in an individual and meaningful way -- beginning with the Honors 100 community! Supplies:
