English Lesson Plan

Introduction:

The Purpose of this paper is to analyze my teaching experiences as a Learner of teaching. This assignment figures a portfolio of my practicum. It contains three lesson plans, rationale for the teaching choices made, feedback from both Peers and tutor, and reflection on my lessons and teaching style attached with Lesson plans, teaching materials, handouts, and feedback for each lesson at the end of each practice section.

Purpose

The purpose of the lesson plan is to facilitate the development of teaching skills including critical thinking, writing and teaching and to self-evaluate the learning process. Facilitate the use of multi-disciplinary lesson as the foundation for the applying the outcomes of lesson into the practical aspects of a discipline also facilitating the development of an area of expertise.

Objectives

Following the completion of the Lesson Project the learner will be able to utilize lesson protocols in defining, lessoning, analyzing and synthesizing appropriate scholarly lesson. Demonstrate critical thinking skills in the analysis of the content. Demonstrate composition skills as evidenced in the quality of the report. Demonstrate beginning lesson expertise. Identify applications of the lesson topic to the practical applications in the future work place and major (Murphy 1986, 12).

Evolution and Context

Approaches to strategy are many and varied and a number of tools developed to assist in strategic management. It suggests that various approaches based on copying ideas that work for others and whilst this seems valid it misses the fundamental issue of competitive advantage being dependant on being different. Many traditional tools actually analyse why success achieved rather than put forward specific strategies for action. Many teachers outline the historic and traditional planning processes of the 50's and 60's as shaped by the structured and non-threatening nature of the environment.

Historical Background

Lesson planning has a long history in the military but first brought to the business world by the RAND Corporation during and after the Second World War. Herman Kahn published "the Year 2000" in 1967 which attempted to develop lesson planning for business. The use of lesson planning during this period was initially an extension of predict and control model and was essentially a probabilistic assessment of the future based on a simulation. Teacher's states that this added little to other forecasting approaches and it was not until the work of WACK at the Shell Oil Corporation that lesson planning concerned less with predicting the future and more on qualitative causal thinking.

Singles lesson planning out from other planning methods in that it attempts to explore the joint impact of various uncertainties rather than examining the change in one variable whilst keeping other variables constant. For small changes and specific areas, single variable approaches can produce satisfactory results but for mass changes variables will not stay constant. Points to lesson planning as being much more qualitative in nature than traditional models (McCombs 1997, 65).
