This document outlines three pedagogical principles for lesson planning:
1) Engage students' preconceptions and misconceptions from previous learning.
2) Relate new concepts to factual knowledge and conceptual frameworks.
3) Facilitate learning through metacognitive strategies like self-monitoring.
The document advocates publishing student work to assess understanding and encourage creative expression that educates others.
