TUESDAY: Finalizing your lesson plans.

http://www.educationoasis.com/instruction/bt/five_common_mistakes.htm This articke, by Dr. Bob Kizlik, highlights the five most common mistakes when writing lessons. Read through this and then revisit your lessons and ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you know WHY you are teaching this lesson? 2. How does this lesson connect with your Culminating Activity? 3. How many teaching strategies are in this lesson? 4. How create (and appropriate) are your teaching strategies? 5. How do you know the students have met the objetives you set? 6. Is your timing reasonable? 7. How will you assess the teaching of this lesson (as opposed to the learning)? 8. Have you played "the movie" of your lesson? Have you considered alternatives to...everything? 9. If you were a student in your class, would YOU learn from this lesson? 10. Do you have an opening and a closure to each lesson?
