How Do You Make A Lesson Plan?
This is a framework for a possible lesson plan for high school students or adults. The goal is to motivate the students to learn and then retain as much as possible. To achieve this incorporate visual, auditory and kinesthetic activities. • Get to know your students. Identify who your students are. What is their learning style (visual, auditory, tactile or a combination). What do they already know? Individualize your plan to fit the group of students you have in this class. Make modifications for students with disabilities, those who are struggling or unmotivated, and those who are gifted. • State the objective. What do the students expect to learn? What do you want them to know by the end of the class? Or is your scale based on a level of improvement for each student? This is the most important part of the plan (see the related wikiHow on how to write an educational objective). • Over-Plan the class. Plan attention getters, modeling and guided practice. Remember to check for understan
Before every class, teachers need to plan their approach to that day’s lesson. Construct the lesson plan carefully to identify the topic of the presentation, the teaching method, learning outcomes and assessment techniques for the presentation. Without this lesson plan, a teacher seems disorganized and unprepared. Step 1 Write out the specific topic you are teaching. Make sure your topic is narrow enough to fit into a single lesson. For example, rather than using the topic “Birds,” use the topic “Nesting patterns of birds.” The more specific you make your topic, the easier it is to plan. Step 2 List the learning outcomes of the lesson. Be specific. Make sure that each statement finishes this sentence. “I want my students to __________.” For example, “I want my students to understand the migratory patterns of birds.” Step 3 Identify the prerequisites for the lesson. If it is an introductory lesson, you might not have any. However, if this is a more advanced concept, you want to cover th
Teachers need lesson plans to guide them on what to teach their students on a daily basis. Lesson plans contain the outline of the lessons to be taught, the objectives of the teacher for the students and the strategies that are going to be used to impart the lessons to the students. Most schools require their teachers to pass a lesson plan to the academic team. This is also important so that substitute teachers can have a guide when the teacher is absent. If you are new at teaching and you need to make a lesson plan, here are some of the tips that you can use to help you create one: • Write the lesson to be taught. The most important thing on the lesson plan is the lesson that you will teach. This will serve as the title of the lesson plan. When writing the lesson, be sure to be as specific as you can. Do not write a general term that can mean lots of things. If there are sub-topics that are going to be discussed regarding the lesson, include them too. • Objectives. Know the objectives
