Study Notes

Lesson Planning

Lesson planning is a teacher's written description of how students will achieve learning goals.
Lesson plans help teachers structure lessons and resolve potential problems.
Lesson plans provide a roadmap for the lesson and record what has been taught.
Lesson plans include considerations for content, materials, sequencing, timing, and classroom activities.
Key steps of lesson planning include defining objectives, planning activities, organizing activities, evaluating lessons, and using different lesson formats like whole-class instruction or group work.
Lesson plans are especially important for teachers to create a structured approach and to effectively meet learning objectives.

Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy, a revised version, classifies cognitive skills into different levels of thinking abilities.
Thinking levels progress from remembering to analyzing.
The levels are Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.
Specific verbs are linked to each level for effective lesson planning and assessing learning outcomes.

Lesson Plan Example

This lesson plan focuses on the story "Anansi and the pot of wisdom."
Planning begins with clearly-defined objectives that can be assessed during or after the lesson.

Methods for assessing learning include asking comprehension questions and analyzing student responses to ensure they grasped the main idea.

Assignment Types
