My Lesson

Feel free to use my plans as a guide. My course is based on 52 minute class periods.
My students in the first year course are 9th or 10th graders.
These materials may need updating. Be sure to check web links.
My local PD always sent one of the accident reconstruction investigators as a guest speaker
I have used ALERT videos for some time. They will work a good deal for school programs. The videos below are from ALERT.http://alert45.com
If you have younger students, you can use the drivers license manual to guide this section. My kids (and parents) liked that the unit aligned with their proximity to testing for their licence.
