The lesson made me realize on the common mistakes people make when preparing a lesson plan. Our group spotted different kinds of errors seen in the 3 samples of lesson plans that circulated within us.
From grammatical errors to missing components, we realized how knitty-gritty we can be. This is useful as it sets a benchmark on how we are suppose to do our lesson plan so that it would not be repeated and spotted by our lecturers. Basic things like alignment of the lesson plan, font, font size, page number, etc should be standardized as it will reflect negatively on us if such mistakes were seen by others.
The lesson also made me realize the “standard operating procedure” (S.O.P) of a lesson plan. I never knew what is required of a lesson plan but with this lesson of criticizing lesson plan of others, I have the general idea of what is suppose to be included. It is very important of a lesson plan to be realistic. For example, there must be a 5-10 minutes of administration time given at the start of the lesson to settle the students down instead of starting the lesson at that stipulated time. Also, the duration given must coincide with the content of every activity.
An interesting area to be highlighted of what was learned was on how to relate the different topics while teaching. This is crucial to let the students see the link between the topics so that there would be a consistent flow during teaching. I never thought of such before and I find it useful to apply it during teaching.
Even though giving critiques on the lesson plan of others may sound negative, however, it allows one to realize and improve his/her work to a quality one.
