Collaborative Script This semester you and your content area design team will be investigating various models of teaching and developing lesson plans illustrating each of the models. Early in the semester, you and your team will create an instructional unit that is broad and rich enough to develop a variety of lesson plans illustrating the various models of teaching over the course of the semester. The content of your team’s instructional unit will be the starting point for the weekly lesson plans. Since you will be determining the most appropriate content in the unit to illustrate each teaching model, your lesson plans do not need to be sequenced in any particular order. And, if your team is interdisciplinary, you will want to ensure that each content area is acknowledged and create at least one lesson plan in each team member’s content area over the course of the semester. For example, if your interdisciplinary team consists of social studies, music, and language arts, your team will want to develop a lesson plan that emphasizes each of the content areas, such as one week developing a lesson plan specifically on language arts, another week developing a lesson plan specifically on music, and another week developing a plan focusing on language arts.
