6. A LP is the instructor’s road map of what
students need to learn and how it will be
done effectively during the class time
(Stiliana Milkova).
7. A LP is a framework for lesson and it
shows the place from where to start
and the finishing line of it. It is a
decision making that is made before
instruction.
8. A LP is a guideline for
teaching a lesson. It
describes the objectives of
a class, the materials and
processes used. It has
learning as its main
objective and involves
learners and teachers.
9. Must have a clear development and
progression between different steps and
stages.
Contains a good balance of four skills.
Shows some connection to a previous or
following lesson.
Allows the teachers to check if any real
learning has taken place.
10. Shows that teacher will have thought
to make the lesson more interesting
and make good use of it.
Will be well-organized and effective
with both the teacher and students
knowing the lesson and contents.
Will have different stages for both
accuracy and fluency.
11. USED AS GUIDE FOR THE TEACHER
- They don’t have to think on their feet.
- Gives the teacher a starting point
- They build on previous teaching and
prepare for coming
lessons
PROVIDES DIRECTION
- They are clear on the procédure to follow.
GIVES TEACHER A SENSE OF SECURITY AND
CONFIDENCE
- They don’t lose face in front of their
learners.
12. HELPS KEEP GOOD
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
- When a lesson works well, students
not only learn—they behave.
Classroom management + Well-designed
lesson =
Higher Achieving Students
13. FOR THE LEARNER
They realize that the teacher
cares for their learning.
They attend a structured
lesson: easier to assimilate
They appreciate their teacher’s
work as a model of well-
organized work to imitate.
14. Objectives should follow the ‘S.M.A.R.T
rule’:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Result-oriented
• Time bound
15. Based on 4 things
Interests and abilities of
students
Your own interests and
strengths
Your beliefs about teaching
and learning
Your own openness to
16. What they will be able to do after
the class that they did not know
before
LP specifies the subject matter to
be covered
17. It outlines the order in which the
information to be presented
It outlines the timeline for delivering each
section for component of subject matter
It gives the teachers the opportunity to
predict possible problems and therefore
consider solutions
18. It makes sure that lesson is
balanced and appropriate for the
class
It gives teachers confidence
It generally a good practice and a
sign of professionalism
19. When thinking about an
English lesson it is useful,
therefore, to keep the
following three elements in
mind…
20. Engage: This means getting the students
interested in the class
Study: Every lesson usually needs to have
some kind of language focus
Activate: Telling students about the
language is not really enough to help them
learn it. For students to develop their use
of English they need to have a chance to
produce it
22. Get class ready
to learn
Motivates
students
Hint to the
theme
23. First, think what
you want to teach
you will need to
develop clear and
specific objectives at
the beginning
24. You would
probably find out
exactly what
materials you are
going to use later,
however, they
should be shown
early in your LP
At this point you
need to write
step by step
procedures that
will be performed
26. You may
want to
provide your
students with
time
for
independent
practice
Teacher is
unavailable
Student’s
practice
learning on
their own
27. Now you want to write your
assessment/evaluation
You should make different direction for
students with learning disabilities and
extension for others
It is a really good idea for you to
include a Connections section which
really shows how the LP could be
28. LP Title
Topic to Teach
Standards Addressed
General Goal(s)
Specific Objectives
30. Cognitive Outcomes: Intellectual
outcomes. They involve the
application of facts, theories and
concepts.
Psychomotor Outcomes: They
describe skills the learner develops
(Physical).
Affective Outcomes: They describe
feelings and attitudes which shape
35. Are there specific language
objectives?
Do the subject matters fit into
previous lesson and known ability
of your students?
36. Is the cognitive demand on students
too high or too low?
Does the lesson use whatever previous
knowledge and experience students
might already possess about the
subject?
Have the input and materials been
made comprehensible?
37. Is there sufficient use of visuals?
Does the lesson take into account
students’ native language and
culture?
Have the 4 skills been integrated
into the lesson?
38. Do materials and activities
take into account the learning
styles of students?
Is there sufficient time for pre-
activities?
39. Is there enough time for
students to ask questions and
interact with materials and
other students.
Is there built in formal and
informal assessment
procedures?
40. Aims, concepts, contexts and
marker sentences are some of the
elements that should be
considered carefully by the
teacher when planning a lesson.
When these are clearly established
it is much easier to ensure that the
lesson being presented to the
students is clear and appropriate.
Notes de l'éditeur
Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior.
OBJECTIVE
Specific means only one objective is discussed at a time.
Attainable describes the parameters for achieving the objective.
Measurable refers to the precise evaluation method that will be applied.
TRANSITION – SHIFT FROM ONE TOPIC TO ANOTHER
PRECISE – BE SPECIFIC
VARIETY – DIVERSITY OR MIXTURE
Provides opportunities for students to practice new learning while the teacher is closely monitoring.
Utilize manipulative and concrete materials.
Utilize partners or groups.
Should include examples from the teacher.
Allows the teacher an opportunity to prevent students from “practicing misinformation.”
Provides opportunities for students to practice new learning on their own.
The IP should match your Lesson Objective!
Provides opportunities to develop speed, accuracy and internalization of new information.
Should be meaningful- not busy work.
Strive for activities that require thinking, reasoning, organizing, creating, researching ….not just worksheet after worksheet.
Checking for Understanding
We don’t really know when a person truly comprehends a concept or to what level-- at least not at first. We can however use a taxonomy of questions and learning activities to address the different levels of readiness.
Here is Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956)
Knowledge
Comprehension
Application
Analysis
Synthesis
Evaluation
Lesson Closure
Ask questions of the students to check for understanding.
•“Tell me what you’ve learned”
•“Explain what we’ve done so far”
•“What can you do now, that you couldn’t do before the lesson?”
Though a lesson may be continued when the class returns later in the week, there still needs to be a closure for each lesson.
Good closure includes:
Recalling the objective for the lesson
Reminding them of what was important
Previewing the next lesson
Directing students to the syllabus for assignments and deadlines
Not getting ‘caught by the bell’; saving time for your closure!!!
Student Performance: How did the students react to the lesson? Did they learn the material? How do you know?
Teacher performance: Reflect on how well you delivered instruction. What went well and what did not? Why? What would you change? What would you keep the same? Which parts of the lesson were confusing and/or not helpful for the students?
Describe your Classroom Management for this lesson plan. What management issues interfered with the lesson; what management issues supported the lesson. Give evidence. What needs to be changed?
