Example Topic Outline (Replace with Title)

Projected Time

Example: 30-45 minutes

• Lesson: ? min
• Guided Practice: ?-? min
• Independent Practice: ? min
• Check for Understanding: ?-? min

Prerequisites

Here are topics that should be understood before this topic:

• Example: Git version control

Motivation

Why it is worth learning this topic

• Older versions of section included companies using the tech - this is not helpful and tends to get laughably outdated
• Include links to future lessons/work this will help with - this will plant the seed later
• How does fit this tool fit into the ecosystem or full stack architecture? (if applicable)
• If a fellow engineer asked about this tool/technique, what would your succinct answer be?

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• leave this lesson knowing this
• and how to do this on their own
• Even more things
• Even more things

Specific Things To Learn

• Focus on this specific talking point
• and this - This is a sub-thing about the thing
• Even more things about the things
• Even more things about the things

Materials

• Example video (10 min) - Write a very short description of this resource.
• Other example article(20 min read) - Answer the 3 questions at the end. (Be sure to explain how to use these materials in directions in one of the sections below (ie: lesson, guided practice). If you are not assigning them somehow, they should be placed under Supplemental Materials at the bottom.)

Lesson

Here’s text about introducing something and how it works.

• Be sure to link the slideshow, video,
• or other materials you expect them to follow as part of the lesson.

Build on the first information. Have apprentices guess things, do an activity, etc.

Make sure to mention these things:

• Things - This is a sub-thing
• More things
• Even more things
• Even more things

Common Mistakes & Misconceptions

List things that apprentices might not realize, might assume at first, or should avoid.

• Example
• Example

Guided Practice

Have the apprentices work with you as you do something step-by-step. This can also be fulfilled by a detailed tutorial intended for beginners.

Independent Practice

Class does this thing themselves with specific additional items. This could be alone, with a partner, or small group; but the idea is that it’s less guided, more independent.

Challenge

Apprentices can try to do this other thing. Ideally, they will be challenged to connect what they’ve learned to some previous knowledge or additional research.

Check for Understanding

Some ideas: have apprentices summarize to each other, make a cheat sheet, take a quiz, do an assignment, or something else that helps them self-assess their understanding. This exercise should help apprentices determine whether they’ve met the outline objectives, or if they need to review.ss
