I think making lesson plans including ESA is the most difficult part for me. I need more practice on it. Through learning this lesson, I have known the importance of making a lesson plan before a class, and what we should write down when making a lesson plan.
Important functions of writing lesson plans:
1. And aid to planning
2. A working document
3. A record
How should a lesson plan be written down?
1. Keep it simple. You may need to refer to it during a lesson.
2. Do not try to script the lesson.
3. Structure it and maintain the same structure.
4. Write the anticipated time for each activity in the margin.
5. Check for balance of skills. Try to make sure activities fit together to give the lesson a smooth flow.
6. Keep it flexible and open to adaptation.
Being organized
1. Check that you have your lesson plan.
2. Run through your lesson plan and make sure you have all the necessary aids and materials needed.
3. Check that the equipment works.
4. Lay out materials and aids so that you can easily find them.
5. Arrange the seating as desired.
6. Make sure that the board is clean.
7. Be ready to chat to the students as they come into class. This will help break the ice with the students and get them in the mood to learn.
