My comprehensive lesson plans always include the following details: objectives, target population, activity type, average duration, key concepts, materials/equipment, space and set up, delivery instructions, potential processing questions, and pro-tips.

Here's a little taste of this one:

~ Topics Addressed: Self-efficacy: Building confidence by practicing patience with yourself during skill development; adopting a growth mindset - learning to frame mistakes as valuable learning experiences; developing and trusting one’s critical thinking skills; learning and believing “I can do hard things.” 

Self-Care: giving yourself the permission, time, and space to indulge in creativity and creative expression; intentionally participating in simple joys to increase general well-being.

Perseverance: developing the patience and self discipline necessary for staying committed to effort and productivity until a goal is complete. 

~ Original Target Population: 6 - 99 year olds 

~ Activity Type: Craft

~ Average duration: 1 - 2 hours, depending on interest (the craft can be split into two or more sessions).

~ Materials/Equipment Required: scissors, glue sticks, paper slinky papers (see ‘lesson plan for paper slinkies’), printed box template, googly eyes, hot glue gun

~ Space & Setup: This group is best delivered seated at a table. 

This group is best suited as a follow-up to the “paper slinkies” group. Participants should already be familiar with making a paper slinky in order to confidently engage in this ‘slinky boxes’ group.
