Activities to develop
Step 1: Lesson Planning
Check Units 1 and 2 once again. Choose a topic from English
Literature. Choose a grade level and an English level as well. Decide
how many students you will have in your class. Create a complete
Lesson Plan following the next 8 steps:
1. Objectives and Goals: The lesson's objectives must be clearly
defined and in line with the course English Literature and the
National Standards. The goal of setting objectives and goals is
also to make sure you know what you're trying to accomplish
within the lesson. This helps you determine what the students
should take away from the lesson, and how you will go about
ensuring that they are successful in mastering the material at
hand.
2. Warm Up: Before you dig into the meat of your lesson's
instruction, it's important to set the stage for your students by
tapping into their prior knowledge and giving the objectives a
context. In the Warm-Up section, you outline what you will say
and/or present to your students before the direct instruction of
the lesson begins. This is a great way for you to make sure
you're prepared to introduce the material and can do so in a
way that your students will relate to easily.
3. Direct Instruction: When writing your lesson plan, this is the
section where you explicitly delineate how you will present the
lesson's concepts to your students. Your methods of Direct
Instruction could include reading a book, displaying diagrams,
showing real-life examples of the subject matter, or using
props. It's important to consider the various learning styles
within your class and determine what methods of teaching will
best resonate. Sometimes, creativity can pay off in engaging
students and helping them understand the material.
4. Guided Practice: Quite literally, this is the time where you
oversee and guide students practicing what they have learned
 so far. Under your supervision, the students are given a chance
to practice and apply the skills you taught them through direct
instruction. The Guided Practice activities can be defined as
either individual or cooperative learning.
5. Closure: In the Closure section, outline how you will wrap up
the lesson by giving the lesson concepts further meaning for
your students. Closure is the time when you wrap up a lesson
plan and help students organize the information into meaningful
context in their minds.
6. Independent Practice: Through homework assignments or other
independent assignments, your students will demonstrate
whether or not they absorbed the lesson's learning goals.
Through Independent Practice, students have a chance to
reinforce skills and synthesize their new knowledge by
completing a task on their own and away from the teacher's
guidance.
7. Required Materials and Equipment: Here, you determine what
supplies are required to help your students achieve the stated
lesson plan objectives. The Required Materials section will not
be presented to students directly, but rather is written for the
teacher's own reference and as a checklist before starting the
lesson. This is your own personal preparation.
8. Assessment and Follow-Up: The lesson doesn't end after your
students complete an Educational Activity. The assessment
section is one of the most important parts of all. This is where
you assess the final outcome of the lesson and to what extent
the learning objectives were achieved.
Step 2: Educaplay
Once your lesson plan is designed, go to Educaplay at
https://www.educaplay.com/?lang=en and create your own
Educational Activity for your Lesson Plan. Include the designed
activity in any of the 8 parts of the Lesson Plan.
