LESSON PLAN

THE TOOLS FOR CREATING LESSON PLAN

1. DEFINITION OF LESSON PLAN

A lesson plan is a detailed step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher's objectives for what the students will accomplish during the course of the lesson and how they will learn it. Creating a lesson plan involves setting goals, developing activities, and determining the materials that you will use.

All good lesson plans contain specific components or steps, and all essentially derive from the seven-step a method developed by Madeline Hunter, a UCLA professor, and education author. The Hunter Method, as it came to be called, includes these elements: objective/purpose, anticipatory set, input modeling/modeled practice, check for understanding, guided practice, independent practice, and closure.

Regardless of the grade level which you teach, Hunter's model has been adopted and used in various forms for decades by teachers across the nation and at every grade level. Follow the steps in this method, and you'll have a classic lesson plan that will be effective at any grade level. It doesn't have to be a rigid formula; consider it a general guideline that will help any teacher cover the necessary parts of a successful lesson.

2. HOW TO MAKE A LESSON PLAN

Now that you have been introduced to various activities and tools available on the internet for language teaching and learning, you may have had a better picture by now about how the available technology can be used for your language teaching activity later in the future. In order to practice planning a future language lesson which is technology based try to look at this lesson plan samples: CAREFULLY LOOK at The samples because you will make one like those at the end of the session.

Having read the example of lesson plans above, Now, consider yourself as a teacher who will use technology in your language class. Therefore, you will need to make a lesson plan. The following links provide information about Lesson Plannings. Read carefully to find out what should you be aware of when designing a lesson plan, for example,

1. what do you expect your students to learn (lesson objectives)
2. what is the best way for your students to demonstrate their achievement ( this will inform you about what assignment will you give to know the evidence of learning in students)
3. what are the materials required (links, websites, videos, or software)
4. what is the sequence of material presentation or activities
