Lesson Plans

I found some great sites with lesson plans that can be used in gifted classrooms.

Here are some links:

Lesson Plans and Resources

• I especially like the lesson plan on entomology for elementary school. In this lesson, the students begin by being introduced to basic facts about butterflies and then, under the guidance of their teacher, they begin to use different types and levels of thinking in relation to the subject of butterflies. This type of activity should engage many students at once, which is ideal for a class with students of different levels.

Lesson Planet

• This is an extensive database of lessons for all grade and ability levels. Unfortunately, the number of lesson plans for high school are at zero, but reading through some of the lower grade level plans gave me ideas that could be modified for upper level grades and classes.

Lesson Tutor

• Lesson Tutor, while not as extensive as the others, provides an easy to navigate list of included lesson plans. I was surprised to see an inclusion of lesson plans concerning music, but was slightly disappointed that they are not aimed towards gifted students.
