It is true too much planning can make lessons rather rigid and stop the teacher being flexible to the needs of the students.However,it is very difficult for inexperienced teachers to be able to be as flexible as this would require.
The writing of lesson plan has a number of important functions:
-an aid to planning
-a working document
-a record
Basic principles of lesson planning are:
-keep it simple.You may need to refer to it during a lesson
-do not try to script the lesson
-structure it and maintain the same structure
-write the anticipated time for each activity in the margin
-check for balance skills.Try to make sure activities fit together to give the lesson a smooth flow
-keep it flexible and open to adaptation
In a lesson should be included:
-learner objectives
-personal aims
-language point
-teaching aids
-anticipated problems
-procedure
-phase
-timing
-interaction
-class level
-number of students
-date,time
-teacher's and observer's names
Planning a sequence of lessons is more or less the same as planning for a single lesson but there are a number of special issues which we must consider:
-flexibility
-goals
-revision
-variety and balance
In this unit I have learnt about the important functions of a lesson planning,how should a lesson plan be written down,what should be included in a lesson plan,how to plan a sequence of lessons.
