When I first found out that I was going to have to write a lesson plan I was extremely excited. I thought to myself "how hard could it be". Boy was I surprised when I found out how much really goes into making a lesson plan. However, I really enjoyed planning a class period and what would go on in a lesson, but it did take a lot of thought and planning. I am so thankful that we were able to ask questions and get feedback because it helped me learn how an actual lesson plan should look when finished. The feedback from Dr. B worked really well and I think that it not only helped myself, but others in the class as well. One thing that did not work well for me was trying to complete the lesson plan, at the beginning, without using an actual textbook. It was so much easier after I checked out a third grade textbook and found out what is really being taught about a subject. Everyone thinks they know how much is being taught about certain subjects or they know what is taught at a specific grade level, but we actually do not know exactly how much is taught. We know that the planets are taught in third grade but we do not know exactly how much is taught until we get an actual textbook regarding this age and subject.
Lesson plans will be used in my every day life, once I become a teacher. They are necessary for planning a classroom lesson. They allow you to stay on topic and it hows exactly what needs to be done and how you will get from one point to another. Lesson plans allow you to see the grade level standards that are expected and it allows the teacher to see what needs to be done, in order to get the students where they need to be.
