Robotics and Time Management Robotics and Automation Lesson Plan Performance Objective At the end of the lesson, students will demonstrate skills for managing a ; using timemanagement techniques to develop and maintain work schedules and meet deadlines; and developing a plan for production of an individual, by completing the tasks found on the Time Management: Robotics Project Weekly Schedule Assignment and Rubric. Specific Objectives Demonstrate how to manage a. Identify important time management techniques. Develop and maintain work schedule and meet deadlines. Develop a plan for production of a. Terms Robotics- the science of technology of robots, their design, use, etc. Time management- the ability to use one's time effectively or productively, especially at work. Project- an organized undertaking. Scheduling- a plan of procedure (usually written) for a proposed objective, especially with reference to the sequence of and time allotted for each item or operation necessary to its completion; the schedule allows three weeks for this stage. Management- the people managing a business. Schedule- a timed plan for a project. Weekly schedule- indicates which employees of a business are going to work at what times, to insure that labor resources are distributed effectively. - pieces of work to be done. To-do list- a list of tasks that need to be completed and typically organized in order of priority. Time It should take approximately 45 minutes to teach the lesson and 45 minutes for one lab session. Preparation TEKS Correlations This lesson, as published, correlates to the following TEKS.

Robotics and Automation 130.370 (c) o (3) The student develops skills for managing a project. The student is expected to: (a) use time-management techniques to develop and maintain work schedules and meet deadlines; and (d) develop a plan for production of an individual project. Interdisciplinary Correlations English Language Arts and Reading, English IV 110.34 (b) o (13) Writing/Writing Process. Students use elements of the writing process (planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) to compose text. Students are expected to: (B) structure ideas in a sustained and persuasive way (e.g., using outlines, note taking, graphic organizers, lists) and develop drafts in timed and open-ended situations that include transitions and the rhetorical devices used to convey meaning.
