Individual Work
Review the course
material Unit 2 and answer the following questions about a lesson planning.
a. How important do you
think a lesson plan is to a successful lesson? What features do you think a
lesson plan should include?
I think it's very
important and effective a lesson plan for the success of a class, because that
through this plan the teacher can trace his/her goals and see how can reach
these objectives with their students to develop a class in which the
students learn significantly. Moreover I consider that an action plan should
include the following features:
- Step 1: Start in context:
A good class consists of
a theoretical and a practical part. It is important that when issuing the
theory, first put in context to their students, that is, to show them the
relevance of the topic today, the events parallel in other areas, the situation
around the theme or historical character etc.
In this way,
students understand that each subject, whether historical or present, has its
cause and effect and a direct relationship with their personal and current
experiences.
- Step 2: Delivery of
knowledge:
Once put in
context the student, the teacher must prepare the theoretical component of
their class, carefully reviewing the literature you will use, considering the
contrast of sources to provide different views on the subject. Also, you must
choose a method of dynamic exposure, and enhance or improve their speaking and
speaking ability not to bore their students.
The teacher should
use various means to expose a subject, for example, exhibitions generated
Newtenberg 1 in PowerPoint, videos or movies that reinforce the exhibition,
using audio or interviews an expert on the subject, etc.
- Step 3: Application
Exercises:
Having discussed
the issue, you must perform application exercises to students. The application
exercises are classroom activities related to the theme seen where it is
expected that students are able to solve a word problem about it. The
application exercises can be individual or group, it is important to be
challenging for the student and are designed to measure the knowledge acquired
and how apply that knowledge to solve real life problems
- Step 4:
Evaluation:
When speaking of
evaluation must take into account not only the students should be evaluated.
The evaluation should also apply to teachers. A teacher should be able to do a
self-evaluation of its kind based on the recognition of factors such as space
(the space was adequate for the exhibition theme?), Time (time was needed or
missed?) And procedure (the methodology was consistent?). Likewise, when
evaluating students, teachers should always keep as reference standards for each
area of knowledge. There are clearly indicated what the expected outcomes are.
We must not lose the north on learning: they must serve that students acquire
skills but not to memorize information.
- The 5th step: Commitments
At the end of each
class are commitments between teacher and student, commonly called:
homework. These appointments or tasks must ensure that the student use the
various means at its disposal to pursue the subject seen.
The municipal
public library, school library, Internet research, reading the newspaper, etc.,
are some resources to be taken into account. Likewise, teachers remain with the
commitment to prepare their next class with care and enthusiasm. Your students
will thank
b. Do you think it is a
good idea to strictly follow a lesson plan? Why?
I think it is a
great idea, because through itself, the teacher can develop their classes with
greater certainty and clarity and also can generates leadership among students
and utilizes resources to develop the lesson plans.
c. Some people think that
lesson plans severely restrict teachers’ creativity. Do you agree? Explain your
answer.
On the contrary, I
think it helps the teacher to be more creative and the teacher develops better
their classes, so that he can make a more active class than passive.
