What is a Lesson Plan?
A lesson plan is a creation in which you set goals and instructions for a specific focused lesson that you are going place in the classroom based on a certain section of a subject area.
What are the sections of a Lesson Plan?
Sections in a lesson plan focus on different things. You need to focus on naming what the lesson plan is about based on the grade level and subject area of the lesson you are going to teach. You need to set up goals that you are trying to accomplish upon the students' learning according to the state's standards. What do you want the students to learn? What are you trying to achieve? A set of activities and materials need to be set up in an orderly fashion before the lesson plan can take place. When doing this, the way each individual student learns needs to be considered. When this is done, then we can include a procedure that explains the instructions of the plan and the ways we can assess students' learning that will lead you to the end with the hope of successfully accomplished objectives.
Example Lesson Plan
Discovering The Ocean Life
Science, 1st Grade
Objectives:
Recognizing ocean animals and ocean plants
Identifying the ocean life food chain
Talking about ocean life relation to the environment
Engaging further random ocean life exploration
State Standards:
Research and evidence based
Clear, understandable, consistent
Aligned with college and career expectations
Based on rigorous content, including knowledge in thinking skills
Built upon strengths and lesson of current states standards
Informed by others top-performing countries
Some essential questions:
Why is it important to know about ocean life?
Why do we need the oceans and everything in it?
How does ocean life impact our environment?
Technology:
Using technology in a lesson plan will allow an educator to express their teachings to their students in a really fun way. One of the main things that is used in the classrooms is a computer with a projector. Any kind of electronic thing that can be presented to the class gives any student the ability to see what the teacher is trying to teach them. If there is a video or a game or a Powerpoint that the teacher wants to present to the class, the students can see it as something fun that is coming their way, not boring. This way, they are more likely to comprehend the material and remember it in the future, unlike the abstract curriculum that most of us had to go by back when we were in school.
Assessing Students' Learning:
How well a lesson plan goes shows us how well it has assessed a child's learning. There are different ways to feed the children's minds with knowledge, and letting them explore on their own according to it. One of the most important things about this is that we need to be considerate and sensitive to the way children learn, because not everyone learns the same way, and not everyone is in the same rate. Showing visuals, doing hands-on activities, giving explanations or simply letting children reason on their own catches the four types of learning styles. It is our job to welcome all learning styles and offer different ways on how to learn something. Not only that, but also bringing what they've learned even further.
First Activities:
A drawing of what children think or know when they hear "ocean life"
Watch a short film that introduces ocean life (ocean animals, plants, habitat, food chain, etc.) to the children
A Q&A session on ocean life that tends to their curiosity and thinking about ocean life and our environment
Playing a visual/audio game that help children identify ocean animals, plants, the food chain, etc.
And last, letting them explore subject-based fiction and non-fiction books on their own
Extra General Activities:
Reading fiction and non-fiction books about ocean life
Discussions about a specific book or an individual part on ocean life
Math story problems or games based on the subject
Historical storytelling or video-showing based on the subject
Arts-and-crafts creations based on the subject
Games or electronic puzzles related to ocean life
