Because of the simple reason that even I had a hard time grasping the angles the reason behind the different phases. With this Lesson plan I was able to read in depth the strategies that will take place when teaching about the moon phases and how it all connects. After reading the lesson plan it became clearer. Having the steps as to what you will teach and ho you will teach it helps clarify on the teachers end any misunderstandings. As teachers we must use our misinterpretations as an advantage in the sense that maybe your students are just as confused. This way us teachers can clear up any misunderstandings for every one. By incorporating this lesson plan will definitely benefit everyone.
