 Assumptions and Anticipated Problems
            Assumptions:
Students are already familiar with lesson plan construction or have at least seen sample lesson plans.


             Anticipated Problems:
Possible Problems
Proposed Solutions
Language Issues: The reading task is only to be skimmed but SS might end up reading it word by word and consuming more than the allotted time for the task.

Remind students that they only have certain time limits to finish the reading task and the best way is through skimming through the text.
