Lesson Plans

As you can see my lesson plans below for the whole week. That’s how I see the lesson plans should be. I mean we should plan for the quarter ahead. At least week by week. I also share with my students the objectives of my plans for the whole week. That will help them to get their work started and not to wait. They will always find something to work on. I explained almost everything that I do in the class in my lesson plans, but I also can add some thing general that I use with all classes.

I always start my class with a daily quiz. The quiz will take only 5 to 8 minutes, not more than this. The purpose is to know how much students are following in the class, and to measure their progress. I then start to put them in groups, and we start the lesson. I use technology almost evryday by showing them videos related to the lesson. I give students tasks to work on togeteher in groups or with their partners. I also give them some activities to do in class. I really don’t depend on homework that much because I try to get them to do it in class, and you can see the rest I do in the chart that has my lesson plans below.
