Photorealistic editorial portrait of a focused teacher at a tidy wooden desk drafting a capstone lesson plan; the laptop screen shows a course discussion board post titled Your Final Task: The Capstone Project, a printed lesson-plan sheet foregrounds a bold Learning Objective line with bullet points reading micro-task and reflective prompt, and a sticky note labeled low-stakes assessment sits beside pens and a coffee cup. Warm natural window light bathes a soft classroom background of empty desks and a whiteboard reading Capstone Project, while shallow depth of field and high-resolution detail capture the quiet, purposeful moment.

Now, it’s time to take your new knowledge from theory to practice. Your final task is to create a complete lesson plan for one of your upcoming classes.

Your lesson plan should:

  1. Clearly state a learning objective that focuses on a specific student competency.
  2. Incorporate at least two different learning activities that you’ve learned about in the course (e.g., a micro-task, a reflective prompt).
  3. Include a low-stakes assessment to check for understanding.
  4. Briefly explain your pedagogical choices—why did you choose these specific activities and assessments?

Once you are finished, share your lesson plan on the course’s discussion board. This is your final chance to get peer feedback and see how your colleagues are applying the course content.
