This example lesson plan was developed by Ochre Education and English teacher Melissa Garstang-Leary. It outlines her approach to teaching a Year 6 English lesson on writing a biography.

This example lesson plan for Year 6 English Unit 2, Lesson 6: To plan a biography complements a selection of online lessons developed by Ochre Education and the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO). It includes guidance on how the lesson was structured and sequenced within the unit and can be used while interacting with other Ochre resources

These lesson plans also allow teachers to see examples of planning for one lesson within a sequence of lessons and reflect on their own planning for effective teaching. This lesson plan is annotated to explicitly show some of the decisions that are made during the planning process.

In addition to these lesson plans, AERO has also published a series of unit plan examples and editable templates for both unit and lesson plans, based on the format presented in these documents.
