Skin cancer exposed - 2 – Lesson plans
Lesson Plan for module 3 – Skin cancer exposed I. Introduction This document provides a number of suggestions of lesson plans on four topics linked to skin cancer including time needed to organise the activities in class and the links with different schools subjects.
II. Lesson plans The lesson plans are meant to give teachers ideas of how the tools can be used within a lesson.
The lesson plans will be preceded by a table displaying some general information concerning the suggested plan, such as the age level of the students, the tools that are used, etc.
The structure of the lesson plans is made in a way that objectives of the activities, as well as materials needed for the implementation, the procedure of the activities and the timing of each of the single activity are stated.
