Lesson plans are necessary for classroom lessons. A written lessen plan will act as a guide that the teacher may follow to keep the class on task and to keep the teacher where they want to be. Not all teachers may need to have a fully prepared lesson plan but can use an outline as their lesson plan. There are many lesson plans that are prepared on the internet but I don’t think that copying one is the best for a teacher. If they are going to use a pre-drafted lesson plan, then the teacher should take pieces of the lesson that will work with the subject being taught and the curriculum of the school. The following link is to a lesson plan for a teacher at Springfield Lanphier High school. http://www.springfield.k12.il.us/downloads/basic/108629/French%20135plans9_27-10_1.pdf

ReplyDeleteA man of few words (you blogged 132/200 words)...it is important to know that building lesson plans from scratch [your own] is a form of continuing to learn and organize the lesson and thoughts of the lesson from your head to the paper. The process of doing this increases your chances of delivering a well-thought out lesson to your students, increasing their chances of 'getting the lesson.' Seasoned teachers have done this enough times until they may be able to skip over this step some times, but do know that unlike a new teacher, they have many years of practice at this.
