I have made lesson plans following a long format, already created for me. I've created lesson plans that are fill in the blank. I've created weekly lesson plans that are in a chart format. There were things I liked, and disliked, about these plans. I liked the chart to have a quick glance for the week, but it wasn't detailed enough. I would have to constantly remind myself and think about what I meant when I wrote it. Some lesson plans were too detailed, in my opinion, and had a lot of extra things included and a lot of extra "fluff" that I didn't think was necessary.
I think this is a great day-to-day lesson plan to follow. You can write down your basic ideas, and what worksheets you need. It also includes a schedule, to make sure you stay on task and on time. I like the lesson plans that a quick and "at a glance." I think that as a teacher, that is what I will use the most. I am a very organized person, and can be particular about things. For this class, my plans will be set up in sections, and in order. My plan would be short and to the point, no extra fluff that isn't necessary to my plan.
I like this plan too.
Thank you for posting your experience on lesson plans. I like that daily lesson plan you posted as well. I really like this new site I found for lesson planning. I feel like it is neither too simple or too complex; even though it is fill in the blank. The best part is it's free and allows for some sharing or collaboration. It also has suggestions you can click for Missouri Standards. I love it, here is the link if you want to check it out. Link: https://www.commoncurriculum.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have written a lesson plan but after looking at them I feel the same way. They either don't have enough details or they have to many details to them. I really liked you day to day lesson plan. It seemed simple and very well detailed.
