CH24: Teacher Toolkit — Lesson Plans, Objectives & Assessments (5E)

At-a-glance: Teacher Pack • Plan → Teach → Evidence

A. Definition & place in DO

Purpose: give teachers a ready planning framework to deliver the DO map (SN 12.1) and per-link definitions (SN 12.2) with clear objectives, activities, and assessments.
Focus of evidence: learners should reliably (i) recite the 12 links in order, (ii) place each link in the four periods, (iii) identify C2 (vedanā→taṇhā) in real situations, and (iv) apply a cooling move that prevents upādāna → (kamma)bhava.
Where it fits: this chapter underpins Parts I–III by standardizing lesson structure, success criteria, and assessment blueprints you can reuse across chapters.

B. Mechanism (how to align teaching to evidence)

Objective → Activity → Evidence loop:
1. State a measurable objective (observable verb + content).
2. Choose a short activity that targets that behavior.
3. Capture evidence (exit ticket, timing log, oral check) that proves the objective.
5E lesson flow (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate): balances experience-first drills (present flow) with map/definition teaching (SN 12.1–12.2), then checks transfer.
Assessment types: quick formative checks (thumbs, call-and-response, 1-min oral) and light summative items (MCQ, short answer, mini-practicum) mapped to the objectives.
Accessibility: keep instructions brief; pair words + diagram; QR everything; use elder-friendly pacing.

C. Practice (ready-to-teach templates)

1) Learning Objectives + Success Criteria (fill-in template)

Objective (By end of lesson, learners will…)	Success Criteria (observable evidence)
O1. Recite the twelve links in order (Pāli).	Says all 12 in ≤30s with 0–1 errors.
O2. Place each link in the four periods.	Sorts 12 cards into the correct 4 columns in ≤90s.
O3. Identify C2 (vedanā→taṇhā) in a live/role-play event.	Labels door→contact→tone and names any lean once.
O4. Apply one cooling move that prevents escalation.	Performs Feel–Name–Loosen and reports tone change without acting.

(Copy the table for each chapter and swap content as needed.)

2) 60–75 min 5E Lesson Plan (Ch13–16 focus, customizable)

Engage (8 min)

Prompt: “Think of the last notification you checked too fast.”
Quick poll: show of hands for pull / push / fog.
Scan QR-CH24-PRM1 to prime Feel–Name–Loosen script. (Alt: “QR to prompt: micro-drill cue”)

Explore (12 min)

Run Six-Door Relay stations (see Ch23).
Collect two “tone words” per learner on sticky notes.

Explain (15 min)

Mini-talk with Slides QR-CH24-PPT1:
- SN 12.1 forward/cessation chain on one slide.
- SN 12.2: six feelings, six cravings (link badges).
- Place Vedanā (PE) and Taṇhā (PC); show C2 arrow.

Elaborate (20 min)

Pairs: Vedanā Stop-Watch (Ch23).
Teacher checks O3/O4 by circulating; coach one breath + body soften.
Optional: Four-Clinging Spotter board (SN 12.2 categories).

Evaluate (10–15 min)

Exit Ticket A (oral): each learner recites the 12 links in order.
Exit Ticket B (card sort): four columns in ≤90s.
Exit Ticket C (practicum): teacher triggers a mild sound/idea; learner labels door→contact→tone and names any lean; performs Loosen.

3) Assessment Blueprint (plug-and-play)

Formative (during lesson)

Thumbs check: “Result or Cause?” (Vedanā vs. Taṇhā).
Call-and-response: teacher calls a link → learners shout period.

Summative (after lesson; 10–12 min)

MCQ (4 items): map links to periods and rounds.
Short Answer (2×2 pts): “Name the six feelings (SN 12.2).” / “State C2 and why it matters.”
Mini-Practicum (4 pts): teacher provides a cue; learner demonstrates Door→Contact→Tone, identifies lean, performs Loosen.

Rubric (Mini-Practicum)

0 = misses steps; 1 = partial; 2 = labels correctly; 3 = labels + loosens; 4 = labels + loosens + reports no escalation.

4) Syllabus Starter (week slice)

Week X Theme: Present Flow (phassa→vedanā→taṇhā).
Lesson 1: Doors & Contact (Ch13–14).
Lesson 2: Feeling & C2 (Ch15–16).
Lesson 3: Clinging/Becoming (Ch17–18) + C2 labs.
Assessment: oral roll-call of 12 links + mini-practicum.

5) Guided Notes (student handout skeleton)

Page 1: Triangle (base–object–consciousness → contact), Three Tones, C2 arrow.
Page 2: Twenty Modes 4-column matrix (Ch07).
Reflection: “Today I noticed vedanā at ___ door; I used Loosen; result: ___.”

D. Cross-links

Ch07 Twenty Modes (assessment cards).
Ch08 Practice Primer (scripts you’ll insert in lessons).
Ch13–18 Doors→Feeling→Craving→Clinging→Becoming (content focus).
Ch23 Mini-Labs (plug these into Explore/Elaborate).
