If you are organizing your ideas for your lesson (7 minutes) - you need to consider a hierarchy for the topics (e.g., below). (Use the ministry guidelines for this). You need to consider (and in your documentation you need to have: (a) Big Ideas - MOE (b) Curriculum Expectation(s) - probably only one although you may consider prior knowledge as part of this segment to (c) Learning Goals (what do you want students to walk out of your class with... Sample of Learning Hierarchy below - that you could include in your documentation. (Yes this is Static Electricity - and I know that one person is doing this topic...But any part of this chart can be changed and reorganized for their own purposes).




 * 2. Microteaching Assignment** - should be handed in the following class.
