Things to Keep in Mind While Creating a Lesson Plan
1. Research and understand your students Before setting up the lesson plan, it is of paramount importance to understand your students. What kind of teaching would benefit them the most, their capacity, attention span, level of interest for the subject, the gravity of the lesson, and how they would handle it are some areas that you need to research on. Of course, this would be a one-time thing. Once you understand the pulse of your class, the rest is easy to handle. In case if you’re thinking that you can handle it along the way, it might result in extra work. 2. Know your Lesson This is very basic. Before creating the lesson plan, you have to know about the lesson and the nuances of it. In simple terms, you have to know the lesson in and out in order to understand how you can teach it and what all activities you can incorporate into the lesson. The kind of discussions that you have planned and activities will differ based on the lesson. 3. Availability of Tools You might have a range of ideas. However, some of them may not be feasible. You have to take into account the tools that are at your disposal and what kind of channels you can use. With classes moving online, there’s no restriction on the kind of visual aids that a teacher can lay hands on. There are educational games apps, quiz apps, and many more. See what fits your lesson perfectly and move accordingly. 4.Have a Contingency Plan This might seem contradictory but it’s a fact that things don’t always go according to plan. So it’s always advisable to have a plan B in place. Things can go wrong, an unprecedented event or a guest lecture may slide in and countless other things that might disrupt your plan. It is always wise to have a “what would I do if this doesn’t work out” thought in mind and a plan in hand. Warmers and coolers A Warmer is a short activity or game at the beginning of the lesson. Warmers are important for students to have some idea of what to expect in the class ahead and are an excellent method for introducing the class topic. For example, if one were teaching a Business English class about finance, one could have a warm-up exercise where the students can test their own knowledge of related vocabulary. A Warmer will allow them to start off in a single train of thought in order to keep them on track for the remainder of the class. A Cooler is a short activity or game at the end of the lesson. It is your opportunity to conclude the lesson with a relevant and logical finish. The reason why Coolers are so relevant in the English language classroom is because they act as revision activities for the information taught in class, and can also be used to provide information about the next class to come. Coolers are essential because, as with Warmers, they signal to students that you have your lessons well-planned and well-structured, and learners will come away from class with a summary of what was covered in that particular lesson. Coolers are also an excellent medium in which to encourage student feedback and to instigate classroom conversation.
