These were the second set of lesson plans I produced in preparation for my Honors 100 class I will teach in the fall. I had an easier time with this set than the last, having a little more experience. I also utilized my classmates more as a resource this time around, asking advice on the activities I had planned, and listening to their ideas about how to introduce and incorporate curriculum. I was particularly pleased with my Health and Wellness lesson, which was largely pulled from activities we participated in on our Peer Educator retreat. I hope that my students will find the same joy in them that I did! Lesson Plan Three: The Honors Curriculum Part Two - Experiential Learning and Portfolio
