"Develop instructional content"- what does that phrase mean to you?
I was asked to do a sample for an e-learning co. Specifically, they want me to explain how you would develop instructional content so that a student would be able to learn the objectives. Include your ideas about multi-media, interactive elements, and/or artwork that could be included with the content to help further develop the topic.
So does this mean a lesson? A unit? A basic description? It's for informational text, so I'm going to use the Dust Bowl as a topic. But I'm still grappling with what "Develop instructional content" means. I emailed to ask but I wasn't given a lot of time and most of it was the weekend.
TIA.

This has no basis in any actual experience other than 3 years of teaching but to me that doesn't sound like a lesson plan as much as it does a few paragraphs about your general approach.
In other words, what do you do first? Look at state standards and common core, look at Regents requirements, etc.
What are your essential questions? How do you divide those into "aims"?
Where do you pull your primary and secondary documents from? How do you decide which ones to use? Obviously the ones that help students meet the standards and provide the necessary scaffolding for the questions of the unit.

I think they mean explaining how you would choose books and develop lessons, centers, writing taks, differentiate instruction to meet the learning styles/abilities of your students.
Ps for dust bowl- I use a book pair- out of the dust by Hesse and children of the dust bowl by Stanley. I just got another nf dust bowl era book from scholastic that is more visual and an easier read.

This is how I interpreted it also.

Thanks everyone. I ended up doing pretty much what you all described.
