SEL/CE competencies and strengths from a credible individual, organizational, or governmental source.

Elaborate on the content of your grid or table and sources used in at least two well-developed paragraphs.
Draft at least one lesson plan suggested by connections made within your alignment grid or by simply imagining what is possible. The plan need not be in final ready-to-use form but should be a complete draft with all the basic parts of a good lesson. You can use whatever planning format or template you prefer provided you can modify or supplement it to satisfy the assignment requirements. It should be at least one page if in table or template form.
