Ledford Lesson Plans

For me lesson plans honestly are something that I struggle with.  I always find that I end up changing what I had planned.  I like to plan out the activities that I am going to do and let the handouts and the PowerPoint that I use really guide the instructions.  Most of the time I do not write out my oral questions ahead of time, but if the students are going to write down their answers I always plan those questions ahead of time.  I like the fluidity of doing things in the moment, but I know that is not for everybody.  However, I always make sure to have some exit questions that focus on the key concepts from that day.  A lot of times I will actually include quiz or test questions as the exit questions.

    I agree! By me being a first year teacher, I see myself struggling with lesson plans as well because I like flexibility when it comes to teaching.

The pros about lesson plans is that it keeps the teacher structured and organized and it allows the teacher to fully think about their plans before they teach the lessons. However, lesson plans can be restraining because it leaves no room for to be flex-able and it can create confusion when you have several classes to teach. Overall, lesson plans to me are necessary because it keeps the teacher thinking progressively and rigorously when planning to teach content.  J Thompson
