Lesson planning for me has been one of the more disappointing parts so far studying Elementary Education. They have caused me to doubt myself and my future as a teacher time and time again so naturally, I was more than eager to learn how to formulate a proper lesson plan. One thing that this class period taught me was that when I write my lesson plan I should think about possible student responses and incorporate them into my planning. I wonder though how to approach the questions that I do not anticipate. Those are my greatest concern. What if I myself do not have the proper amount of background knowledge to address student questions off the top of my head? The other piece of the lesson planning discussion that I took something away from was that we should write our lessons like recipes for a substitute teacher. Before this idea, I could have been missing key details that I would think I know off the top of my head. I see now that my lesson plan writing has to be not only for myself but cohesive enough for an outsider to understand it. Unrelated to lesson planning, I think that the map\/ picture activity that we engaged in was one of my favorite this semester. Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been as engaged or genuinely curious when participating in a social studies activity. I only wonder how I could incorporate an activity like this if I were to work with younger kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
