E: Critiquing the Lesson Plan
15 minutes
- Option 1: Have the tutor trainees critique the lesson using the
general
tips (provided before the lesson plan) in the tutor-training
manual.
- Option 2: Have the tutor trainees determine which
teaching
strategies have been implemented in the lesson plan.
- Option
3: Discuss what elements in the lesson plan would be good
for a visual learner, an auditory learner, a tactile learner
and a
kinesthetic learner.
- Option 4: Using the section of the tutor
training manual entitled,
Reflections on the Lesson: Assessing the Session, critique
the lesson using the sections you feel are the most pertinent.
- Option 5: Compile a checklist using the criteria you consider
the
most relevant regarding the lesson plan. (Include both
negative and
positive comments.)
F: Writing a Lesson Plan
Option 1:
20 minutes Have learners prepare a lesson plan for Carine in pairs.
- Have each pair look over the exercises prepared for Carine
and chose
their favorite 3 exercises.
- Pairs should take these exercises
and use these as the focus of their
lesson plan.
- Give each pair a lesson plan grid. (Trainees should
focus on
subsequent revisions and sequencing when doing
this activity.)
- Have pairs perform their lesson
for another group of trainees and
receive feedback.
Option 2:
30 minutes
- Ask trainees to write another lesson for Hyun-Chu in
pairs. (This
lesson could focus on her other long and short-term
needs as
defined previously in the session.)
- Give each pair a lesson
plan grid.
- Allow them 15 minutes to plan a lesson. The lesson
plan should
have at least three different activities. (The
focus could be on her
pronunciation difficulties and the phrases/vocabulary
surrounding the
shopping theme.)
- Have the pairs present their lesson plan to
another group of trainees.
