- Added by Emily Marie Strong, last edited by Emily Ann Traficante on Dec 03, 2008

Post Secondary Lesson Plan
Below is an example of a lesson plan that could be used at the post secondary school level, either college or graduate school. It is an example of how teachers can incorporate Evernote into a lesson plan.
Classifying Leaves to Determine their Trees
Objective Each student will be able to distinguish between leaves and correctly identify the tree they came from with an accuracy of 85% or higher. The students will have an assessment quiz requiring them to identify certain characteristics of leaves and also name the trees provided based on their characteristics.
Learning Environment The students will learn the notes on leaf characteristics and take the practice quizzes in a typical science lab classroom. The teacher will put up the notes and pictures on a projection screen; the students will take the practice quizzes at computers. For the actual graded quiz, the students will go to a forest with trees labeled so they know which leaves' characteristics to observe. There should be about five trees to identify, with a characteristic question for each, making a total of a ten question quiz.
Description of Students The students participating in this lesson will be in a college level science course. Each student should generally be between eighteen and twenty-two years old and enrolled in a biology class.
Standards N/A
Materials - Picture of a chart of leaf characteristics and tree names saved in Evernote
- Pictures of actual leaves for the students to practice learning their trees saved and organized in Evernote
