 * Housekeeping:**
 * Create an account on www.sharemylesson.com
 * Search for these two lesson plans: "Latin Roots & Prefixes Mini Lesson 1" and "Steretypes and Tonto"
 * Carefully read/review both lesson plans and the accompanying materials.The purpose is to gain some familiarity with the genre of lesson plans.
 * In your learning journal, respond to these prompts.
 * What is the "job" of a lesson plan? Who is the audience? What are some essential components of a lesson plan?
 * If you were to come up with a set of criteria (similar to DAMMP) to evaluate a lesson plan, what would they be?
