What is a lesson plan? What is my perception of a lesson plan? How do they differ?
What i percieved to be a lesson plan to be was just a simple outline done by the teacher of what they were going to discuss in the class period. I believed that he only reason that teachers did this was just to provide the principle with evidence that you know exactly what your teaching your students and to try and help you have good time management in the classroom. I also9 beleieved that it oonyl took a few minutes to create one of these lesson plans.
What i percieved and what i kno now are not completely different but there is deffinately more to a lesson plan that meets the eye. A lot of hard work, time, and effort goes in these lesson plans. A lesson plan is basically like robbong a bank in my eyes. If you rob a bank you must have a strong team and you must anticiapte every move that may or may not happen or else you have a high risk getting caught and not havng a successful robbery. Believe it or not the classroom works the same way. The teachers comes up with a very strateagic lesson plan so that their students can grasp the material sucessfully.
These teachers accomplish this by making sure that there lessoin plans consists of developing situation for students to have the opportunity to explain, grouping materials for students to grasp, building a bridge for students to connect what they already know and what trhey're about to learn, anticipaiting questions for students to ask and answer, and reflections and or feedback from the student so the teacher can see the efeectiveness of their teaching and the lesson plan. This particuler method is commonly used amongst the constructivism method. which i believe is the most effective way of creating a lesson plan.
The only thing that i somewhat disagree with is that it is almost impossible to anticipate alnost everything that will occur in the classroom and how will you know how your students minds think let aloine what kind of questions their goin to ask and have an preconcieved answer. But I do see how they are needed they are like test but with out so much pressure on the student.
