Adding a Lesson Plan

A Lesson Plan is special content type that combines information about the lesson itself with the curriculum resources used to teach it. Default Lesson Plan sections include the instructional level, grade level, objectives, and subject area of the lesson. Additional sections can be added to the Lesson Plan, arranged to appear in any order and optionally displayed to students.

To add a Lesson Plan to a content area, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Log into Blackboard. Select the course.
2. Click on the content area (Syllabus, Course Information, Assignments, Course Documents, etc.).
3. With Edit Mode on (If Edit Mode is Off, click on Off to toggle to On.), hover the mouse over Build Content to get the menu.  Then click on Lesson Plan under Create.

Lessons Plans consist of two sections: Content Information and Curriculum Resources. Content Information contains a list of predefined sections where you can add in descriptions/explanations to that certain section.

You can always add additional sections using the Add Lesson Plan Section button at the top.

Curriculum Resources is a folder within the Lesson Plan where you can add content specific to that lesson.
