A screenshot of a structured request template for generating a lesson plan based on the Quebec Education Plan and the Progression of Learning. The template begins with an introduction where the teacher specifies their grade level, subject, and the relevant Progression of Learning strand. It provides prompts for the teacher to fill in details such as the topic, lesson duration, sequence of the lesson in the unit, and students' prior knowledge. The template outlines specific components for the lesson plan, which include: - Learning Intentions and Success Criteria - A relevant and engaging lesson hook - An exit ticket - A differentiation guide - Activity extensions - Required materials - A lesson summary with time breakdowns for the specified duration - Links to high-quality educational resources (e.g., videos, texts) with detailed metadata like title, author, length, and platform, and online links if available - A summary of referenced texts or media - (*Optional*) Opportunities to incorporate high-impact teaching strategies mentioned in the provided PDF file titled "WQSB Teaching Strategies." The template emphasizes aligning the lesson to the appropriate grade level and ensuring the content matches the students' developmental needs.
