Freebee Friday: Instant Lesson Plans

Well thought-out lesson plans are hard to come by, but Microsoft has a slew of them, ranging from running a virtual lemonade stand to a literary scavenger hunt. It’s all on the company’s lesson plan page and it’s categorized by subject and age group as well as how long it takes. My favorite is a four-period class plan for exploring the cosmos with the online WorldWide Telescope, which includes links for viewing as well as student handouts.
