Lesson Plans!! I am sure we will all do many of these plans in the future and while I do lesson plans for the age bracket I work with, they are far different from those we are now working on. I have learned over the past couple of years how to plan for different age brackets and have worked with children who are 2 years old all the way through 11th grade. This has been great experience. However, I am still working on my 10 lesson plans for this class and as of now have not fully completed one. I would like to say I even know exactly what I am doing (I do for the most part) however, this is not exactly true. I know what I am doing my unit on and what I want to accomplish but the lessons themselves are a work in progress. I was going look up my old lesson plans in the Madeleine Hunter Format and get my brain started but I haven't looked them up yet. Tomorrow I am off and I will not be watching the grand babies so I will be working on lesson plans all day. I think that once I start this process it will go rather quickly because that is how I usually work. I just need to get my brain focused on the task at hand and take off from there. the task at hand and take off from there. My questions for you are how are your lesson plans coming? Are they as easy as you thought they would be?
love your last picture! I used the same one haha!!! I have one done so far... the rest I am going to finish by this weekend I hope. I want them done by next class so I don't have to worry about them anymore!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it would be awesome to have them done by then! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI've been working on my unit plan over the last hour and a half and now I think I'm going to scratch my whole idea and start over. I'm struggling lol. I always second guess myself about my teaching. I worry it's not going to be effective enough. It has helped me though to look back at my old unit plans I've done in the Madeline Hunter format. I highly recommend if you haven't done so already. :)
ReplyDeleteIt still takes me a long time to make ONE lesson plan. It used to take me a day to do one lesson plan, now I can do 2-3. So I know I am getting better the more I practice. I have about 4-5 lessons left to do because I can't decide if I'm keeping this one lesson I made or not. It's a slow progress though.
ReplyDeleteLesson planning for education classes takes me a long time, especially for unit plan. Last semester, I would write a lesson plan the night before and I think working with my students everyday helps. I am currently working on my unit since I have had a very crazy week with packing and work. I will be using tonight and tomorrow morning to continue working on my lessons. Mine are for 4th graders and have the main idea in my head on how I want my unit to go, so I just have to put into words.
