1. You will be making lesson plans just as you did last nine weeks. The big change is that you will have to teach to a person who is not in AP Lit.

They do not have to have knowledge of the book. You give them what they need for the lesson. The student can be: A sibling, a parent/grandparent, a neighbor, a student (not in AP Lit), etc. Mix it up each week. Briefly introduce the person without giving too much info. Again, everything else will stay the same besides this one element.

4. You must reflect on past lessons in order to look for ways to improve your podcast
5. You must not rush this process or fill your space and voice with empty and elementary concepts.

Label your lessons as I showed as depicted below: (Exactly)
