 Answers to the questions

1. What is a lesson plan?

The lesson plans are ordered records on the topics to be seen in class. A daily lesson plan is a
written description of how students will move towards the achievement of specific objectives,
and the student's learning at the end of the course. Which concerns the procedures, objectives,
methodologies that will be carried out in the classes taught by the teacher, in this work it is very
important to take into account the topics to be addressed.

2. Why is it important to plan a lesson?

Because of many experiences related to this issue, we can state that teachers who don’t have a
plan lesson before starting a course or class have more possibilities of making mistakes during
the execution of classes because, maybe teachers manage grammatical topics, the contents, the
procedures, but with no plans about the way to perform the contents and activities, the results
of this usually are not as expected.

Planning gives teacher a sense of organization, time distribution, logical activities, correct
sequence of stages of the class, and a part of it, the opportunity of contrasting the final class
process and results with the originally planned activities.

3. What are the different elements that must be included in a lesson plan? Describe them.

3.1. Write clear objectives:

The objectives help to have clarity about what students want to learn, They also help to plan
the activities that best suit the subject to be taught and to evaluate the contents that have been
taught. When writing the objectives you should use action verbs such as: identify, present,
dialogue, expose, since it is easier for students and teachers to know what is going to be
evaluated.
3.2. Planning of activities and procedures.

The planning of activities is very important, since on these depends the success of a lesson plan,
and the fulfillment of the objectives. To plan the activities, the following steps must be
followed:

Perspective or opening. In this phase, students' prior knowledge is explored, interrogating the
topics seen in previous classes.

Stimulus: The teacher uses a fun or fun activity to introduce the new topic, and make learning
easier

Instruction / Participation: In this phase the activity is presented and the process to be
performed is explained, verifying that everyone understands what they should do.

Closing: The activity is evaluated with the students and they are asked questions about the
activity about aspects to improve.

Tracing: The last phase of the lesson makes the teacher use other activities to reinforce some
concepts.

4. What are the steps or stages in a lesson plan development? Describe them.

DEVELOPING THE PLAN:

This stage begins with appropriate and clearly written objectives, these objectives describe what
students want to achieve, help guide the selection of appropriate activities, provide guidance
and evaluate what students have learned at the end of the lesson.

• Perspective or opening: The teacher asks the students what was the previous activity (what
was previously learned)? What concepts have they learned? The teacher then gives a preview
of the new lesson.

• Stimulation: the teacher asks a question related to the activity that follows this helps students
to relate the activity to their life.

• Instruction / participation: the teacher presents the activity and verifies the comprehension
and participation of the students.

• Closure: in this phase the teacher verifies what he has learned in classes through key questions.
• Follow-up: in this phase the teacher uses other activities and reinforces some concepts by
providing the opportunity for students to improve.

IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN:

This is the most important (and difficult) phase of the daily lesson planning cycle. Since it is
where it is implemented and in case the plan is deviating and the desired result is not being
obtained, changes must be made but taking into account that this plan was designed with
specific intentions in mind and the plan was based on the diagnosis from the teacher of the
student learning competition.

When implementing these plans, teachers must take into account two important topics such as
the variety of the lesson that is responsible for keeping the class lively and interesting and the
pace of the lesson where the development of activities can be fast to slow.

EVALUATING THE PLAN:

At this stage the teacher evaluates the success or failure of the lesson, either formally or
informally by performing it after the students have enough opportunities to learn. There are
some evaluation criteria to see the effectiveness of the lessons like.

• The class seemed to be learning the material well.

• Students committed to the foreign language at all times.

• The students were attentive all the time.

• Students enjoyed the lesson and felt motivated.

• The students were active all the time.

• The lesson was according to the plan.

• Language was used communicatively at all times.
