Simple ways to assess the product

An effective writing process should lead to a successful product. A writing product fulfills its communicative intent if it is of appropriate length, is logical and coherent, and has a readable format. It is a pleasure to read if it is composed of well-constructed sentences and a rich variety of words that clearly convey the author's meaning. When various conceptual models of writing are compared side by side (Isaacson, 1984) five product variables seem to emerge: fluency, content, conventions, syntax, and vocabulary. Too often teachers focus their attention primarily on surface features of a student's composition related to the mechanical aspects of writing, or conventions. A balanced assessment should look at all five aspects of a student's writing. The following are simple methods for assessing each product variable. In some instances quantifiable measures are used; in others, qualitative assessments seem more appropriate.

How to Make a Lesson Plan

(With Sample Template)

“Failing to plan is planning to fail”
For every teacher, the primary aim is to teach effectively and to ensure that the learning process is efficient. For this, the students have to be engaged and motivated. An engaging lesson starts with an engaging lesson plan. A lesson plan will help teachers to engage with students in a better way. It also helps in removing chaos and confusions and to stay on schedule.
On that note, let us look deeper into the importance of lesson planning, how to make a lesson plan, and a few lesson plan samples to help you get started.
A good lesson plan is much like a well-written book. Everything is in place and everything makes sense. The important thing to keep in mind is to keep it simple and not to complicate things. Before getting started with how to make a lesson plan, let’s look at why you need to have a lesson plan:

The Objective of Creating a Lesson Plan- Why is it Important to Have A Lesson plan?

All of us have been grocery shopping. Isn’t it much easier when we have a grocery list? It is even easier when we know where things are or if we have a guide telling us where they are. A lesson plan is like a guide or a map that tells teachers what are the things they need to cover, when they need to finish it and how they need to do it. It is basically putting your action into words and following it.
The lesson plan helps to create a structure and this will help to establish a rhythm. A lesson plan will help the teacher to be in control. Command and authority are important when it comes to teaching a class. It also helps to instill confidence in the teacher. When one talks about a lesson plan, it is essential to understand that it is not necessarily a script or a long document. It can be a few pointers that help the teacher to navigate through the lesson smoothly and ensure a great learning process. To sum up, the objectives of having a lesson plan are:

• 
  Saves time and helps with time management
  
• 
  Minimizes chaos and confusion
  
• 
  Instills confidence
  
• 
  Ensures smooth functioning of the classroom
  
• 
  Boosts efficiency
  

Now that we have stated the importance of having a lesson plan, let’s look at the important things to keep in mind before making a lesson plan.
