Another week has come by and I find myself preparing a lesson plan. Let me tell you a little story. I used to work somewhere else two years ago, and one of the requirements of the institution was that we had to prepare lesson plans every single day for every single class. I regularly had only two classes and that meant that in one week I had to prepare 10 lesson plans and by the end of the month I had prepared about 34 lesson plans, and all of them had to be written in a specific format. Now can you imagine the teachers who had 4 courses???? What a drama!!!!!!!! But please, do not misunderstood my words. I don't mean to say that lesson plans are useless. On the contrary, I believe that lesson plans are a great instrument to help us, especially if things go wrong because there is always the chance we have something "under the sleeve", but I do believe that lesson plans take many forms and with time and practice we can even prepare them in a small piece of paper or even in post it notes.
You know that my books have post it notes all over. However, there are times that I do really need to preapre a well-structured lesson plan, and I do it.
Well hope to hear from you
