Which one do you like? & Why?

We agree that: PLAN ∞ Value A Lesson PLAN should be scientific For every work we have PLAN …. Teaching also needs a PLAN A Lesson PLAN should be scientific A Lesson shouldn’t be without PLAN.

Main structure of a lesson plan A. Title: There should be a logical and comprehensive title for each session B. Target group: Should be well defined C. Time: It should be specifically mentioned at the top of the lesson plan.

Main structure of a lesson plan D. Aims: It is the action to be performed by the trainer in the classroom specifically what is going to teach and why it is so important for him to teach.

Main structure of a lesson plan Learning Outcomes−LOs (Objectives): It is the action to be performed by the learner at the end of the session. It should be logically stated with an action verb at the beginning. Three components of an objective are: behaviour (performance), condition and criteria (standard).

SLO: 3 Components 1. BEHAVIOUR (Verbs), Performances are ACTIONS (SMART) 3. CONDTION- Limitation Resources, tools, equipment, materials 2. CRITERION- Standard How well: quantity, cost, time

Learning Outcomes Students will …. DO WHAT (how)

“DO WHAT (How)” --- Bloom’s Taxonomy Type Level Cognitive 6 Knowledge ~ Evaluation Affective 5 Receiving ~ Characterization by value Psychomotor /Skill 7 Perception ~ Origination

Main structure of a lesson plan LOs/ILOs (Objectives): To construct LOs (objectives), Bloom’s taxonomy of action verbs can be looked at. Objectives should be:

Examples of Useful Bloom Words: Outcomes, not processes Specific Specific List Sort Identify Categorize Predict Design Describe Generate Conclude Justify Solve Construct Analyze Measurable Measurable Specific Task: Write 20 action verbs

Examples of Weasel Words: mainly Processes Not Specific Not Specific Imagine Comprehend Understand Know Appreciate See Explore Exposed to Learn Familiar with Realize Sense of Discover Not Measurable Not Measurable Not Specific

Main structure of a lesson plan Learning Outcomes−LOs (examples): Climb eight stairs in 10 seconds without slipping. Write names of 36 public universities ….. correctly.

Student Learning Outcome At he end of the lesson, students will explain two causes of the Civil War. By the end of the lesson, students will provide a one page critique of one day in a Vietnam War soldier’s diary. SMART

Main structure of a lesson plan F. Introduction: This section of a session takes 10-15% of the time frame, which should include: Welcome, Establishment of rapport, Bridging/linking, Overview of the session, Justification of the importance of the session, Pre-assessment i.e. prior knowledge level of the students can be checked.

Main structure of a lesson plan G. Development: This is the main section of a lesson and takes 75-80% of the time limit. Success or failure mostly depend on the logical arrangements of the key points of the session. Care should be given to make an effective development process. X………. Y………. Z……….

Main structure of a lesson plan H. Conclusion: This section deals with 10-15% time for: Quick recap of the main stories, Feedback Learning assessment, References, and Forward plan for next session to start. In this section teacher can understand how far his/her objectives have been achieved and identify the weaknesses. From that viewpoint, this section is very important for future improvement.
