Development of Lesson
Students will watch a short Power Point Presentation on community resource information and then use the internet to find 3 community resources.
A power point presentation as well as classroom lecture and discussion will be used to provide instruction on how to find community resources.
This lesson plan requires only that special needs students specifically search for services that suit their individual needs.
Students will be evaluated on the suitability of services found, the amount of information provided on each service and the inclusion of eligibility requirements for services.
Students will discuss how to share resource information with family or friends who may need help.
It is my sincere intention that students will become familiar with community resources and share this information with others who need it.
