Lesson plan steps and explanation

1. LESSON PLAN (Different from curriculum design or micro-curriculum)

2. LESSON PLAN It is the instructor's road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. Lesson plans help teachers be more effective in the classroom by providing a detailed outline to follow each class period. It contains topics, objectives of the class, activities, time management, resources (materials) and assessment to check for student understanding Example: https://www.typecalendar.com/lesson-plan.html / Drive

3. STEPS FOR CREATING A LESSON PLAN 1. Identify the learning objectives Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to identify the learning objectives for the lesson. A learning objective describes what the learner will know or be able to do after the learning experience. For example: students will be able to identify and name colors of objects that are around them.

4. STEPS FOR PREPARING A LESSON PLAN 2. Determine the needs of your students With this particular lesson, are you introducing new material or reviewing what you’ve already taught in a previous class? At the start of the class, be sure to let students know what to expect so they can stay focused on meeting your objectives. When reviewing material, some of your students may need more encouragement than others. Identifying these needs in your lesson plan will help you prepare.

5. STEPS FOR PREPARING A LESSON PLAN 3. Plan the specific learning activities When planning learning activities you should consider the types of activities students will need to engage in, in order to develop the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate effective learning in the course. Learning activities should be directly related to the learning objectives of the course, and provide experiences that will enable students to engage in, practice, and gain feedback on specific progress towards those objectives.

6. STEPS FOR PREPARING A LESSON PLAN 4. Plan your resources and materials Make a list of the resources and materials you’ll need to teach this lesson, such as paper, pens, and rulers. Don’t forget to include technology resources in your plan when appropriate — laptops, and gamified learning tools, like apps or educational websites. Also, take into account the time management to develop each activity.

7. STEPS FOR PREPARING A LESSON PLAN 4. Plan to assess student understanding Assessments (e.g., tests, papers, problem sets, performances) provide opportunities for students to demonstrate and practice the knowledge and skills articulated in the learning objectives, and for instructors to offer targeted feedback that can guide further learning. Planning for assessment allows you to find out whether your students are learning.

8. STEPS FOR PREPARING A LESSON PLAN 5. Ending the lesson (Recommended at high schools (kids)) Finish the lesson with a quick wrap-up. Do a brief overview of the lesson, including the main concepts the class learned. Ask students to identify the key ideas as a refresher, and leave them with a preview of the next lesson so they know what to expect

9. ACTIVITY Please design a lesson plan for teaching a topic in a foreign language. It should be done in groups of 3 – 4 people After designing the lesson plan, please present it to the rest of the class. The lesson plan should contain: main topic, student’s age, objectives, activities, materials, time management and assessment to check your students’ understanding.
