For Unity of Effect:Keep it shortWrite with your end in mind
Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849)
Start with a Meaningful Activity
• Resolve two things first– What is the point or
purpose of my lesson?
– What kinds of exploratory questions can I ask a student encountering it for the first time?
• Develop the activityMake use of popular search engines in the framing of your activity. There is a great deal of material already online concerning your topic. Seeif any of it can be modified for your purposes before you invest time and energy in creating something new.
Discuss the Activity
Break the idea into parts– What are the component
parts concerning it? (Each is one slide.)
– What are the supporting ideas for each of the component parts? (All supporting ideas go on the same slide with the component part they support.)
– What are the develop-mental ideas for each of the supporting ideas?(Quotes, narrative examples, and such can be moved to the audio narration.)
Every idea is a system with componentparts. Each part will have its own complexities that support its role within the greater system. All you’re doing isbreaking that down for your learner.

Conclude the Activity
Explain the idea in context with the environment of which it is a part– What is the significance of
your point or purpose?
– What is the impact of that idea on the field?
– What is the applicable value that can be derived from this explanation? The fundamental principle that our ends
are bound up in our origins is at play in this kind of project design because we started with our end in mind.
