lesson plans for high school construction class?

We Answered:

FINALLY someone teaches something useful!

drywall, plumbing, electrical, basic carpentry
its all good to know

or how to hook up a ceiling light and switch
or wall outlets.



maybe how to hook up a sink or fix a leaky drain (too many people have this and it is easy to fix)

or how to hook up a ceiling light and switch
or wall outlets.

if you want something a little bigger but really cool
build a 2x4 framed wall, drywall the inside with a light and switch and outlet.
insulate it and put siding on the outside and a dual pane window!

then they would know how to get a good job that is useful for society and also pays well.

good for you!

What are the elements of a good lesson plan--high school?

We Answered:

I usually use the STOMP method. S-Subject (I guess you don't need this for HS, so it would be TOMP) T-Topic, O-Objectives - what are the students expected to learn, M-Materials-waht are the materials that you will need to do this lesson(I usually highlight this so I can see it at a glance), P-Procedure-these aree the step you will go through to teach the lesson I usually number these 1) 2) 3) I usually highlight this in a different color. Really the only 2 things I need are the materials and the Procedures. The other stuff is for adminstrators.
When they ask me to tell about myself, I usually say I am am married with a 14 yr old special needs child. This gives them a glance at my family life and will also tell them that I have experience with special ed. I then tell them what I do in my spare time or some type of hobby that I do which could be brought into the classroom. For example, I do theater, so I could bring that talent into the classrrom.

We Answered:

These are not all for high school level - though some are - maybe you can combine and modify the others.

GOOD/EASY websites for new-to-homeschooling-families that have lesson plans for high school students?

We Answered:

You cannot be home-schooled unless your parents are prepared to do it.

It needs considerable parental commitment and is not an easy option.
