Activity 1 – Based on our discussion so far, pick one of the theories and find a lesson that embodies the theory you have chosen. In your blog post the link, why you feel the lesson is created to support the learning theory and how easy or difficult this would be to do in your classroom…what would be the barriers? Benefits? Is anything missing from the lesson that you would include?
Here are examples of behavioral lesson plans:
