This time I chose the
same strategy from the last time. The
strategy is Gradual
Release of Responsibility. This
time the lesson plan topic and activity is different. This lesson plans aims to
teach the students the culture of foreign language they are learning. Based on
my knowledge, most of the students like to work on presentations. It summarizes
the idea very well and guides the students in any area they learn. It also keeps the students excited and
motivated. I apply presentations most of
the time. I even involve students in doing presentations and projects from to
time, and that’s because my students love to do so. (I do it, We do it, You do
it). Those steps help all students to follow instruction and develop their
skills. It also gives all types of students an equal opportunity.
